Tuff wheel timeline

[bobafett]

I tried to discuss a Tuff wheel timeline in another thread a while ago but without much luck so i'll make a seperate thread for it and try again.

As i see it the history is as follows but someone will have to fill in the dates that they were first produced

Tuff I (Unstamped)
Tuff I (Stamped)
Tuff II (Steel Hubs)
Tuff II (Alloy Hubs)
Tuff II (Rear Alloy Hub Front Plastic Hub)
Tuff II NEW (Latest variation all plastic with sealed hubs)

Post your thoughts on dates radsters and any fook-ups i've made   

[steve Beech TA]

Would be interesting as i can never remember the dates to what type

[sweetbeats]

Be interesting to get pics of each model,info on if the serial numbers mean anything,when graphites came in etc
and the different weights of each model

I could fill in the blanks on a couple of those picture / weight details - between myself and my mate we've got most styles covered but i've got no idea on dates and haven't got a clue where the graphites come in to it

No dates as per hub but a general idea of when the Tuff 1's and II's came out

Tuff II (Steel Hubs) 1979
Tuff II (Alloy Hubs) 1982 (graphites around this time also ?)

Any thoughts 

[Tefore]

didnt they do the 3 spoke tuff 3's as well

[bobafett]

I guess i was sticking to old school - wouldn't the tuff 3's be classed as mid school
