After close to a year in planning, engineering, and developing the "T-Spoke" design retro 80's style 24" Tuff Wheel..... they became a reality this morning!
Feast your eyes! This production run we had black, and white 24's done. Graphites will be made just as soon as the carbon fiber / graphite material arrives.
If you want a set of these new black or white 24's, they are available at coloredtuffs.com.

This is one of the very first of the new "original 80's" design 24" Tuff Wheels.  This one is heading over to assembly to get the bearings and axles installed....!
 In addition to white, black, and Graphites, we'll have red, blue, and yellow colours very soon!  More colours will follow later this year.

In this safety over-conscious world I think they should leave all those reflector mounts on.  :LolLolLolLol:

 The frame tubing is actually in transit to Greg Esser, our welder, right now.  Production on those frames will begin within the next 2 to 3 weeks.  I will be emailing (for real this time!) people at the beginning of the waiting list this weekend.

 We (coloredtuffs.com) have an order with Skyway for 100 sets of 24" Graphites.  There was not enough material to make all of them, so we're waiting for more of the carbon fiber graphite material to arrive at the factory so that the complete order can be filled.  We're expecting the material to arrive within the next 2 to 3 weeks.  Once it arrives, we'll have the 24" Graphite made!
 We're trying VERY hard to get these made quick!

That's funny.... we'll, you now see where the mounts do come from!  It's from an injection port that is not removed after production.
 No worries on these wheels... I've ordered our supply of wheels to have NO reflector mount holes on them...
