So we all want skinwall comp III's

[Waxintaxin]

i saw a bike part catalouge a while back and lots of stuff seems to still be made ,levers , seats stems ,the only issue is that to import them you would need to order a shed load , ie 1000 or 5000 minimum order

then you need to find a shipper , import licenced carrier , it needs to be a major import thing going on

its an idea , but not one i would want to do as it would cost someone a load of cash , and who would want 5000 of 1 thing ?

first step is getting hold of a catalouge of parts that currently are sold to russia for kids bikes ( like a set of brakes or pedals) and then you can decide if looking to import stuff is a good idea

20 x 1.75 and 20 x 2.125 would be popular am guessing, if you are serious Lou it may be easier to post em back/get the bike shop to ship em to you(if they will do the right thing on the customs declaration  ) save you the hassle of carrying etc

[LucyLastic]

Ok.  If I can find a bike shop and they'll post back to the UK, who would like a set?

Let me know what colour, size (20 or 24inch) and width (2.125, 1.75) and I'll see what I can do.  I'm going to San Francisco, Chicago and Fort Lauderdale, there must be a bike shop in one of those places

If it really is no hassle then would love a 20 x 1.75, 20 x 2.125, 24 x 1.75 and 24 x 2.125 in black/skinwall or black/gumwall.  If you want to guestimate the price I would happily send you the dollar up front so your not out of pocket

Don't want any monies as can't 100% promise I'll be able to sort something.  If I manage to get some, then pay me after

We're taking a laptop with us so I'll be able to log in to Rad whilst I'm over there and let people know if I find some.

40 quid is quite alot IMO, they are not orig Tioga's (although Cheng Shin apparently do make the Tioga/Mitsu tyres anyway ! LOL!!)

If we could order, say ten pair and divide the postage it could be a solution.......

Look a bit like a gum wall to me? Cant quite tell from the pic though.
