White OnZa Porcs experience inflation
It's the week for breaking records - is this the highest price ever paid for a pair of second-hand tyres?

Some people have more money than sense.

Well, if your hobby is rebuilding old bikes with "period" parts, then so be it. Still cheaper than some pastimes I can think of

Still one of the best tyres I've ever ridden...

Be interested to see how they would compare to say something a NN today

Well, I've got some c 1992 Onza Ski Bar Ends in ball-burnished aluminium in the garage.  Might try and email the idiot that bought they tyres....

No BHB, that's just your nostalgiac mind playing tricks on you.  They were crap.  So were the Spesh Umma Gumma and those dodgy grey Tioga thingies with the stupid macho name I can't recall.

If you rode any of that crap today you'd hate it.

1992 Onza Ski Bar Ends in ball-burnished aluminium

There are a lot more old bar ends around than there are unworn 18-year-old tyres, so I wouldn't expect to get much for them.

Welded Ti L-bends, on the other hand

I've got a Tioga Psycho 2 in the garage, I might see if there are any more retro-tyre obsessed numpties with more money than sense.

I'm almost sure I have a pair of dalmation frogskins kicking around in a box in the attic at my parents with all my other childhood stuff.

They'd be worthless unless they're anodized purple.

I still ride a Kenda farmer john upfront on one of me bikes, damn good tyres on road/hardpack too I must add.

Onza porcs were awesome tyres. For about 5 minutes, then the tread wore off them

bloody hell i've got a pair of white porcs in the garage - wonder if they're worth anything - tread is a bit flat from pulling skids on black tarmac but hey they still look cool

give you a fiver...they're worth fuck all mate

I know the buyer of these tyres well. I'm not going to even attempt to explain the retro bike scene, just that, they're intended for an exceptionally rare & highly sort after bike.

I see friends spending masses on massively expensive old fishing reels.. each to their own & all that

Yo Eddy?


I'd like to see them on a Pace RC200 with bullseye cranks...


Or perhaps the manitou FS with essentially a pair of forks for the rear triangle
