I think they are just branded Panaracers, but very rare.

Title: Re: some of the bikes ive owned
Post by: Rodgy1970 on December 31, 2011, 12:25 PM: Looking at these bikes just reminds me what was available a few years back, I remember looking at Vert-ego and Alans around 03-04 and thinking I'm not paying that much for a load of old cack. :'(

Yeah, the profiteers took all the fun out of it IMO. It was great being able to build a NOS frameset up with (genuinely) NOS parts which were readily available and weren't being shilled to feck on eBay. :'(

Haha! :LolLolLolLol: wish it was still like that now, where it wasn't an investment to buy a pair of pedals or something, and you could build a nos bike for real cheap. Especially that streetbeat!!
