2x Nos White porcs - let the bidding begin

[sandmangts]

Paying that much for something with a limited shelf life is absolutely stupid. Tires, especially gumwalls don't last that long. These tires in particular wore out in a very short time. Even if you just put them on a bike for show eventually they will be worthless. I just don't get it. If I found a pair of these I would buy them just to sell them. Can someone please explain the appeal of these tires?

Wonder what someone would pay for NOS 1.95 Amber/light skinwall Porc's with black treads new in the box?

That can be said for a great many things we collect...you know, the whole moth and rust thing.

I've never been interested in owning a set of these, but I can understand the appeal.

Boxed porcs.... You have some?

I have one of those in the garage - not NIB though, it's slick :? . Used to run black at the back and white up front - cracking combination until you hit wet roots :x

for some people building retro bikes isn't about financial viability and some people have to money to pay a lot to get the things they want. Paying 200 quid for a set of tyres that will be worthless in 10 years is no worse than buying a newish car that loses 100 quid a month in depreciation.

If you can't appreciate a NOS set of white porcs, I really dont understand why your on a retrobike forum to be honest...

I had a set on my light blue muddy fox

They were pretty pants and soft as hell,they lasted me a few months till i gave them away to go on a mates potter bike

Yes they were sh*t but they looked the best colour of tyre ive ever had

Best looking Period !

if i had the money ,i'd have bought them in a flash and then ridden them into the ground.

[OK,i dont get out much,but i didnt say how long it would take me to do it
