REPRO ALLOY FLANGE TUFF II's

[ColoredTuffs.com]

Skyway had 6 of the rivet machines at the factory.  Ken Coster, president of Skyway, has been taking parts off of broken rivet machines over the past few months and was able to build up a machine that worked.  He made 40 sets using NOS 1982 flanges.  20 in white, 20 in black.  I haven't advertised these at all- only posted a mention of it on the Skyway Facebook page, and now here.
 Ken and Skyway have plans for a special 50th Anniversary Tuff Wheel set that has never been seen before, Yes, Skyway turns 50 in 2 more years.
 As far as the Tuff Wheels being "limited".  Yes, they are.  We do make them in small batches, and when we sell out, sometimes we can make more if there is nylon pigment still available.  Red is gone, and we haven't had those in a couple of years now.  All in all, we've made a very low number.  Especially if you consider that MILLIONS of them were made in the 80's.

Non Flange Tuffs = $86 Pair / Alloy Flange Tuffs = $199 Pair ?

Alloy flanges = $113 ?

No... most of that price increase is due to the cost of getting a rivet maching up, and for having the president of the company make the wheels himself on weekends.  This was actually no small feat to get done....

"he only made a few sets"......"a handfull"


So define the quantity ??    10 sets / 100 sets / 1000 sets     

These will sell out quick!  Get a set while you can! We're only selling 10 sets of each color!!

The listing says 10 of each colour will be available but that might be a cunning stunt to create a sales frenzy...   

There was 10 in stock this morning - there are still 10 in stock according to the site.  I can't believe Cletus and his U.S. mates haven't bought a set yet.

i guess you could interpret that as planetbmx is only selling 10 of each , not that skyway is making 10 of each 

Ken made 40 sets total.  Then he shipped them all out to me.  I'm keeping some for personal bikes, so less than 40 will be out there.

Just got the wheels in.  There is a date stamp molded in the wheel (Dated Feb 18th, 2011), just like the modern Tuff Wheels.
