He is a chocolate teapot and survives on mint leaves, nettle tea and grass (garden variety) whilst co-habiting with the local foxes in a large box in Victoria Park. He begs for money just to pay for his monthly mobile phone charges.

As for the Skyway's, I personally think they are okay but I also think they use inferior sealed bearings that don't last long.

aside from the use of sealed  bearings and the fookin annoying reflector hole  i thought they were the same as they used to be , same compounds  etc ? 


, got a couple of sets of the new ones and they do seem a little more flexie than i remember the old ones , but i am 6 stone heavier than i was when i last had an og set

If you're not a fat bastard & you're not pretending to be Mark Webb then they should be fine.

that all depends on if you consider a 45 year old 14 stone builder to be fat

Skyways are still cool. 

I would only buy the reissue ones which were made pre 2006 with front flat axles.

I got my last couple of sets from Parkers of Bolton for 65 quid. Not sure if they are the best or the cheapest but they have them. Here is a link:
