I know Rod Miles has the infamous Skyway 24 with graphites that can be seen on the Rockford 2005 pics here in the gatherings section. It is the only 24 I have seen with them for a long time. (Rod, if you have a newer pic, it is always nice to see)

Post some pics of yours if you have 'em, on or off a bike. On a bike would be nice. They are some rarities for sure. About four years ago on ebay, there was a NOS set that was out there a couple of times and had a $1500 BIN with a high reserve and no one snatched them up. They would easily do that now, I think. As I now have an 83 GT 24 project, I would love to see a set for sale.

Anyway, post them if you got them.

Thanks, Paul

Paul,

go to Ed's coloredtuffs.com site, and look around for new products, might see something ya like

24" Grafites comming soon!!!!! I just might have to get me a set of those!!

3rd gen, with the silver hubs

I would consider selling my new old stock 24 inch graphites with gold sealed bearing hubs if it meant being able to purchase some aftermarket wheels for my sports car.

ok.... time to break out the news on the 24" Tuffs....
We are working on re-creating the 80's style "T" spoke 24" Tuff Wheel!!!!
The colored 24's will be done using this mold, AND, after a good amount of testing, if all goes well (and it should) we should see a new 24" Graphite Tuff Wheel ("T" spoke, as well)
There are some things that are being worked out right now, but we should se something in about 2 to 4 months!
As always, I'll let you guys know what's up, and I'll have all updates on the www.coloredtuffs.com website.

I no longer have them, but they sure were cool!

Rod Miles

that's what i'm talking about.

To me, that is the coolest cruiser out there. Rarer than rare. Great pic Rod!

What cruiser bars are on that TA 24?

....man...... I miss my old 24" T/A!
Rod..... that is the nicest cruiser ever... in history.

Oh how I would love one..

The skyway pic is awesome but I'm really partial to the matching 20 and 24 Tri-power pic.

Shingelhead has a special custom set.

When Richie Anderson switched from Patterson to Torker in 1984',
Skyway made him a set of white Tuff II's 24's with the gold Campagnolo hubs.

I think the reason they didn't make them Graphite's is because
you can't color graphite white.
Richie wanted white.
What Richie wanted, Richie got. LOL!

mcam- I'm guessin those are GT bars on Rod's 24, at least they look like it to me.

Rod- Thanks for the pics! The dual shot is now in my personal faves pics folder.

Hi Meatpie
Less than 100 sets were made BITD.....
We'll see more soon!

Ed, has a price been set yet?

Hey Ed, it is now 2007...any news on the month the new 24 graphites are going to be released?

Curious minds are ready...

We do not know yet. Engineering dept at Skyway has not finished making the mold yet, so there is no scheduled date yet. But it's coming... sometime.... eventually.

Ed, How muchy will they cost. Balllpark

Ed, How much will they cost. Balllpark

Not sure yet........ that's the word direct from Skyway......
Hang in there!

I realy want a set. Please let me know when you get any info Ed.

I'm thinking a set would be cool too... As an alternative to rims and spokes on my Patterson 24.... Yum yum

I have a NOS set of 24" graphites.

There sitting in a Skyway box tucked away with a bunch of my other really cool OS goodies. You know... the stuff you wouldn't dare build up.

ED - Any word yet on the 24 graphite availability?

I suspect the vast majority of us won't be in a fit state to even recall our own names by the time these roll off the production line

It looks like it just might happen in the near future...

I have those, their sittin fat on a 24' JMC Cruiser.....
