yeah -modern reproductions obviously.

Skyway UTs, 5 spoke but different design slightly. As strong.

some are the new style tuffs , black n white mostly, the other colours tend to be   the utility tuffs as jd says , they have double fin on the sides if you get me ? never had a set but supposedly a little stiffer   ?  

[Gnarlyscoots]

supposedly a little stiffer   ?  

I guess a little more stiffness where needed is a good thing

 :Dstiffer sounds better, but i missed out on this horrable bike, its sold, i think ill start my search again next year and build myself a nice lightweight oldskool bmx. by the way, are skyways 3kg in weight

For another 20 quid or so you can have a brand new set of tuffs in pretty much any colour.Ebay is your friend

hehe  it will have no crank, calipers and bars,frame, forks, it will just have wheels hehe,  well aleast until i get some spare cash next year. i know that the db silverstreak 2 is light but i had one before and the frame seamed very short, ill do some more reading of the threads until i find somthing right for me

They are cheap dude.they are reproduction ones though,the only real way to tell em apart is the new ones have a tiny hole in each wheel for reflectors.If you are gonna ride the bike and want mags they are the way forward.In relation to your other comment,most old school bikes will seem short now as an adult.That is why new school bikes have longer top tubes and are better for adults to ride.Get yourself a site supprters tag,and you will be able to take advantage of the for sale section which generally has better bargains than ebay,and you should be able to build yourself the bike of your dreams

Lighter than most new school BMX  


Hutch Pro Star 21.5 lbs from the Factory

[bobbbbsy]

as seen on bmx museum- friends dont let friends ride hutch ! 

i have ridden some n/s bikes that are so light i am surprised they exist ! 

[hunterdubber]

Indeed      









but you were talking about old school  










As heard from Hunterdubber  -If you let your friend ride your Hutch , he'd know your unfair advantage  


  

[bobbbbsy]
