Am loving the 'so solid crew' (ie:no suspension) old school mtb you have there :coolsmiley: :smitten: :4_17_5:

I think there is a place for repops.The pork chop st's are fine for a rider,even he doesn't seem to have the white ones anymore.I wish TIOGA would do an ST repop too,It would help alot of people out instead of having to pay £100 plus for a pair of  perished/dry originals that are too expensive and delicate to ride on.My mate was recently looking for some white freestyle gumwalls but had to settle for comp 3 copies because there was nothing available for a sensible budget.Surprised no ones jumped on this,I'm sure they would sell plenty. :daumenhoch:

If you want tyres to ride on then pork chop makes copies  :daumenhoch:

if its for a show build then patience is the key........finding that right part is all the fun.  there's no rush  :daumenhoch:

1) because no body can hold of them anymore
2) copies don't look nothing like the originals
3) there is no fun in finding the right tyres then finding out they are £300 and cannot afford them anyway and to me that's taking "the fun" out of it :-[

What tyres are £300  ???  I picked up some nos comp st lavender tyres for £80 and some minty white GT tyres for £60. They're out there, don't just go on baggio or crazy eBay prices

Hmmm the collector mentality....perhaps Del should stop making decal sets . It would be such fun to hunt around for impossible to find decals to finish our bikes .
Come on....Skyway still make wheels , Ame still make grips , has that ruined it for everyone ?
