Title: 80s freestyle tyres
Post by: stevepeanut on February 01, 2013, 10:23 PM: Another question I need help with.

I have only built burners in the past and for tyres I have always used comp3s. I am building my first freestyle bike, a haro invert freestyler, 1988. I want to fit period correct freestyle or ramp tyres. The only freestyle tyres that I own are a nos pair of primo v monsters, I was told these were 20 years old so this would make them early 1990s. What tyres should I be trying to find? I would prefer black or red tyres with amber walls. Cheers.

Post by: Vos on February 06, 2013, 01:51 PM: Does anyone know anything about these Union freestyle tyres I have on my RL20? I've seen a couple of pairs come up for sale on BMX Museum, but have no idea when they were produced. I assumed they were mid 1980s? I picked this set up on Ebay (US)
