im building up a mid school s&m homes... and have a choice of either all black comp 3's or all black Primo dirt monsters... which should I go for?
-
compe 3s
-
thats what I was thinking... just needed another opinion! Nice one!
-
space fruit has comp 8s splitting off his et i think, they would be nice, swayin towards the monsters tho, got a likin for em at the mo :daumenhoch:
-
monsters are nice tires but defintly wrong time period unless your holmes was very late holmes NG etc ....
-
yep 3s all day long :daumenhoch:
-
....or GT's.....
-
....or GT's.....
Yeah, GT MegaBytes or Comp 4s
-
the primo dirt-monster is more of a mid-school tyre than the compIII ever was :daumenhoch:
the first dirt-monsters came out in 98 whereas the first compIII's came out way way back in the 80's! i realise they still made the comp's in the 90's but they still make them now so you could say it's an old school tyre that they just never stopped making,
they were still selling "1 holmes frames in the shops in 98 so you could rightously fit them,
i'd have probs preffered to use the skinwall comp's but they worked out at double the price of the skinwall D-monsters,ok for a show bike but i always intended to ride my old holmes,
dont forget about the primo v-track too,
and the odyssey overbite,
maybe even khe lamello's if its doing ramp and park work :daumenhoch:
-
ye partly ignore my post,i thought you was on a rearly early holmes.

if it is an early "1 holmes completely ignore my last post too :daumenhoch: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
-
V-tracks would look dope.
-
i very nearly went with the v-tracks on mine tbh,
a good tyre and all but forgotten these days :daumenhoch:
did they make both a black-wall and a skin-wall in it?
-
darker - its the exact same frame as your 1" holems that im building, only with white graphics.. got it NOS from cyclesport!
Ive wanted GT Megaabite tyres for ever - pleeeease has anyone got any?

Yep, you can still get old stock in 1.5, a while back I contacted Primo in the UK (can't remember who the distributer is) and they told no-one wants skinwall so they're not bringing them in :yahoo_silent:.
-
Did the Dirt Monster come out after the V Monster then?
-
did they make both a black-wall and a skin-wall in it?
yeah they did .....
I have some fat black walls
-
Did the Dirt Monster come out after the V Monster then?
a few years after, sean mckinney developed the v-monster pretty early on in the primo line-up, the dirt-monster is like a heavier treaded version of it if you look close,
ygt's right though it is fairly late in the mid-school , the way i try to look at it is if you bought a "1 holmes in 95/96 you'd likely still be riding it in 98, so theres every possibilty you could have used them?
all this talk of the V-tracks is making me want a set for the challenger though!
-
I might have one v track in the loft?
I will look tomorrow
:) DINGO :)
-
like these?
