davemac1974:
Found a Burner (i know, i know) at the local tip last week. Bonus was that it had Tuff II's on it. They are plastic hubbed, and I assumed that they were "new" ones.

There is a difference with these ones from the tip bike though, as next to the Skyway logo it says "Made in the UK", whereas my new ones just say US.

Does this mean anything? Are they older?  ???

winnit93:
i hope u removed the wheels and threw the frame set back in,and covered it up so no 1 else finds it. :LolLolLolLol:

davemac1974:
I take it nobody knows then?

(Or more likely...gives a rats ass!  :LolLolLolLol:)

retrogeezer:
Hey Dave,

Skyway did set up manufacturing over here in about 85/86 (in High Wycombe) to make the wheels cheaper here (i.e - no shipping costs) - not sure how many wheels were produced but I have seen a few so they are around.
