I used those on my race bike in 1984 . I've a pic here of my bike with them on but no scanner :(

Lovely tyres. ;)

Sorted , kind of ! . Took a digi pic of the photo , the photo was taken by the local paper which put together a report of my making the final at the British Champs in 1984 .
Check out the tyres , if my memory serves me correctly I ran them because they were pretty light ! .

Cool Pic Matt :4_17_5:

84 for sure, one of the lightest tyre available, but quite fragile.
They were called Hi Lite or "competition TS" in France for "Tringle souple" (soft structure)

Nice bike too. :4_17_5:

That camera was a bargain ;D.
Great to see photographic proof they were around back then, I remember them well as we sold heaps of the bitd at Heff's, they were great for hard packed tracks like the Kingshill Ave track at Hayes :daumenhoch:
