old school tioga

<< < (3/6) > >>

WARDY:
I think most peeps would still buy the old stuff anyhows

harris:
tioga have always been good in marking a new tyre as such
comps from comp2s up to 8s now  i think we all no the difference
if is marked as a newer number you cant go far wrong.  
if they want early ones they can still pay for what they want.

Would these parts be classed as retro or old school?

Im not really into building show bikes so I cant really comment on if a bike is a "real" old build or not. I do know that there are quite a few people who ride their old bikes and parts like tyres wear out. I dont think show bike builders or OS racers wanna see NOS Comp3s being ridden on a track, and most amber/skin wall copies dont even look close to right. Even a newer "re issue" label on the right compound Comp3 would be great.

yes a very good point. for people like me who ride the old school sometimes its hurtfull to ride a new set of mx1000 coz they cost so much etc etc and they are date stamped and stuff but these will be re issue ( ;) ) and not costing the earth so it good for a ride is that making sense?
