Unfortunately not in the UK mate :( ....well unless you go for some newer school odyssey frequency g's in 1.75, which are a really nice tyre by the way!

The ones from Rainers are Kenda. They're not cheap though. 2 20x1.75 tyres cost £90 including postage & taxes. ouch!

You will struggle to find any white Frequency G's in the UK mate. They are rocking horse shite over here and Odyssey are not making them anymore.

You will have to go the US way which is better as they are cheaper, inclusive of postage, and if you ask the seller to mark the package as 'gift' not 'merchandise' and put $40 total on the form, you will not incur a charge from customs or the parcel farce £8 handling fee.

Make sure they will do it though before committing to buy. Even if it's marked at $2 price, if the merchandise box is ticked, they will weigh it and charge you at customs.

Dans comp have them in stock  >>   http://www.danscomp.com/products-PARTS/444110/Odyssey_Frequency-G_Tire.html   <<  and they posted to me before how I requested. Mail them first and ask okay  :daumenhoch:
