If so, are they a close match to the originals?

The Comp III have been re-issued by Tioga but the Comp II is still on 'hold' due to, for what I can gather,  'collectors' insistence it will diminish the retail value of originals. Something else I intend asking Tioga about  :daumenhoch:

I'm not surprised - there will always be a place for originals, but when bicycle tyres start selling for 4-figure sums you know there are going to be a few people upset by repops.

Paying that sort of money is insane. :idiot2:

The negative affect on prices predicted by the "collectors" hasn't been the case with most of the other items, Kashmax's etc, if anything it has been the opposite.

Why oh why didn't they re-pop the 2nd gen green and blue label.   :-\

pickle:
I still think the blue is the same just faded

steve69:
I think that has confused things even more Terry  :-\

Now there seems to be a black/green gen2 comp3 and no sign of the blue/green or green/blue !!

Jaan:
From what I can gather there isn't any clever subtle colour swaps to signify age i.e. green above blue and blue above green or different shades of ink, it would appear that there were 2 primary factories that produced the tyres (Japan and Philippines) and its that which explains the anomalies and thats all there is to it…  :-\
