That seller is Jeff Haney. I've dealt with him on and off ebay for over a year now and apart from being a friendly guy and great service, he must have some stash of old school stuff. When my wants ads here in the UK have got no response, he has come to the rescue...... He has some rare rare stuff for sure.

So as Waxin' says..they will be NOS. For the record i had black DX's back in the day and remember being gutted the paint started coming off same day i rode em... :-\
