Title: Whats the deal with Tange grips! these days?
Post by: Taipan on October 14, 2022, 01:10 PM

Wow! cant believe people are asking up to ?200! for a pair of these in black and often used condition?  :wtf:  I can understand a nos set of white Tange or hard to find colours such as red and blue? but c'mon Black fetching these prices? why do you think this is?

PS..I can remember passing on a set with Kuwahara on them as I thought ?25 plus post was too much!  ::) ??? :D

No idea. They were always crap IMO. Killed your hands. It's amazing how much people hold onto such fond memories of crap stuff  :LolLolLolLol:

Man I am so glad I'm not sentimental  :LolLolLolLol: I'd be broke if I was !

There hVE also always been a lot of nos pairs in black on the market which I am a little suspicious of. I agree that Colours are worth a premium but I remember baulking at ?40 for a pair of nos Blue ones a couple of years ago although I wanted them so badly at the time!

PS I think they are pretty comfy, no complaints.

Sounds like I'd better start looking after mine a bit better then, as they're currently covered in mould! ;D
