Yes I think you can now almost build a complete repro bike ::) :-\
-
But correct me if Im wrong, there not making the replacement hubbs are they ?
I think that would all does a favour if they did and supplied a decent bolt system with it.

Just to let you know the rear hubs on the new ones have graphite on them not skyway like the front wheel shown in the pic - all the repro ones have graphite stamped on the REAR flanges, i guess thats all they had left over.

Absolutely spot on :coolsmiley: They had enough alloy flanges for 130 sets of Skyways (until they find some more) so they done 35 Red, 35 Blue, 30 White and 30 Black. They sourced the correct dyes from the warehouse storage, booted up the moulding machine, reset the dates to 2011 and out come 130 sets of 'Repro 1982' Skyways :daumenhoch: They are fookin' lush too :smitten: Apart from the date stamp, they are 100% exact to the originals.

They don't have the plastic cartridge thingies which go over the spindles inside between the 2 flanges though, and the spindles are the new ones not proper old school ones. I have 2 sets of white, but they are nice though. 8)
