The Skyway Graphite is part of BMX folk-lore. Originally made to be lighter weight for the Skyway team and sponsored riders, made from Graphite with their disctinctive gold flanges they used Campagnolo hubs, these weren't even available to buy at any price. Now remade by Skyway in limited numbers the Graphites are updated with sealed bearings.
