graphites
thx
(mint ones)
-
Do you have some then?
-
no
is there a difference between buying and selling price then
-
LOL
always
depends on which models , there are a few different tuff 2 versions and each is priced differently according to rarity and desirability
same for graphites , different designs vary with age
-
no
is there a difference between buying and selling price then
Are you looking for new Skyways or are you asking about OG wheels?
-
what does og mean
skyway tuff 2 £
graphite gen 2 £
graphite gen 3 £
can you fill in the blanks :daumenhoch:
-
OG means original buddy, from the early to mid '80's, with gold annodised alloy hubs.
They reproduced the Graphite Tuff's in, I think, 2009 or 2010 with sealed hubs. They are still reproducing them now but in limited numbers to try and keep them desirable.
-
yes
the ones from the 80s is the ones
just wanna no prices so i dont get stroked
thx
-
ok tuff 2s came in a few different hub options dependant on when they were made
steel hubs
alloy hubbed front and rear
alloy hubbed rear , plastic hubbed front
plastic front and back
so colour will have an impact on price as some are more desirable than others
but lets say a black pair of tuff 2s alloy hubbed front and rear £ used condition 150 - 200 NOS ( new old stock) 300- 400
graphites from 7-800 to 2000 dependant on hubs etc campyu hubbed ones being the more desirable
-
It means an original part i.e. manufactured in the 80s
There are lots of Tuff 2s bud. Colour and generation all affect price, which are you interested in;
Steel hub 79
Steel hub with Skyway stamp 79-81
Alloy hub 82-84
50/50 (alloy hub rear / loose ball front) 84-85
Loose ball 85
Sealed (new)
There are 4 generations of Graphites but only the first 3 were made in the 80's:
1st gen 81
2nd gen 82-84
3rd gen (sealed) 84
1st and 2nd Gen Graphites are Campagnolo and command dollars

Well a set of Gen 2's just went for $2k so c.£1600+ once you've paid all duties but someone must have really wanted them.
Gen 2s i'd say £900 - £1300
Gen 3s £600 - £800
Condition dependant...
-
What colour and what type are you after buddy?
Each colour pulls it's own asking price. Each condition too will pull it's own asking price.
I sold a NOS set of 2nd gen yellow steel hubbed Tuff's with coaster for £250. Blue are the most desirable and could fetch an asking price of £300, maybe more.
Alloy Tuff's are more desirable than steel hubbed Tuff's due to most people building bikes around 82 - 85 and NOS ones could fetch a bit more, say around £500+
It all depends who wants them at the time and what the seller is prepared to let them go for.

Get yourself a site supporter tag and use the For Sale section on here,I think Spen has a few sets of used ones for sale at the moment.
I would pay no more than £100 -£120 posted for a good used set of alloy hubbed Front and rear Tuffs.
For plastic hub front and alloy hub rear a bit less,say between £80 and £100 posted.
Recently I sold a grubby set of white alloy hubbed 80s Tuffs with NOS Shimano freewheel for £100 posted,I also had a set of white alloy hub rear and plastic hub front that had been bleached with very minor cracks with tyres and tubes that I just couldn't get rid of,ended up ebaying for £65 posted.
-
thx for this info guys

Cheers Ollie, yes I do have a few sets for sale but no Graphites :-\

I recently sold a beautiful set of 50/50 (alloy rear hub, plastic front) white Tuffs form an '84 bike that I had aquablasted so they were minty for a ton but I knew the guy and he's a mate on here, so I'd say the prices are still ok.
Got a couple of sets of blue, a couple of yellow and a set of red that if they don't shift soon I will be stripping down, taking to the aquablasters and re-building and they will be a lot more than a ton a set.
So the answer is the price depends on if you want to do the work yourself and what you need them for - if you want NOS for a pony then you're fooked basically as they will cost you over £300 now and NOS Graphites you can name your price. If you want to ride them then shop around but expect to pay about £150 for minty ones and down to the £75 price tag I have on mine needing the cleaning / aquablasting.
And before anyone asks about aquablasting, its a sticky in the resto section but if you're too special to find it, here it is :2funny:
