Post by: proclass35 on February 21, 2008, 06:33 PM: I'd agree, they were definatley more of a race bike (although Ruffle did 'freestyle' one) and a spoked rim looks less clumsy. Not that I dislike skyways.

Post by: Del on February 21, 2008, 06:42 PM: I'm a major tuffs fan but have to agree, spokes on that would look soo much better.
