I've got the green tuffs from Tefore's yellow and green Performer too but I haven't got any pics of those.

And i've got a new TAP Burner with white Tufffs too.

Paul

i'm not 100% sure, but i think the 6 spokers weren't sold seperately. their proper name was the skyway OE. OE being Original Equipment. I think they only came on complete bikes. also at the time they were out, most flatland riders rode with a coaster brake. the skyway OE was not available with a coaster brake. well that's what peter hawkins told me...
