Era correct all the way, no way I'd have a set of re issues on one of my bikes but each to their own, there's a big difference in price.
i popped some nos comp 3 blue/grey label 1.5's on my gt the other day and took of the 1.75 re issues but it looks pants now
Riders , only got one OS rider , it has Cheng Shin C183 knobblies on it ...... ( were NOS ) .
I guess it depends on how much disposable income you have? a few of you on here obviously have lots (good on you ) but I think your common or garden average joe has to go with what you can afford? thems the facts
Tyres are the hardest thing to get for an era correct build now for obvious reasons. I've pretty much done all my bikes by buying them individually rather than as pairs, it's just a case of being very patient.This below has a 1.5 rear and a 1.75 Front, it doesn't look wrong as Andy above said but if another green/yellow 1.75 came up i'd go for it just so i did have a pair of them if needed.So far i have never used the re-issue tyres and i can't see me doing so in the future. Also Mark spends more money on grips than he does Tyres, He's also currently holds the No1 plate for spending the most amount at MK.
