Still one more type to find. The very last one which I saw a rider wearing at the Newnham WC race in 1998. It was yellow and red.

1995-1996

Hens teeth, rocking horse poo, what ever you call them these are the Parkpre equivelant. So pleased to get a Black World Champion rainbow jersey after such a long search. Paola Pezzo was XC world champ in 1993 when she was riding for Parkpre

Patience, and lots of it. They do turn up but you need to be in the right place at the right time with your sniper locked and loaded. There are a few collectors of these and they are even more ruthless than me.

Park Tools were a different company. Parkpre were owned by a company called Integra Precision Engineering. One of the founders was a Mr Park.
 
OK, I admit it, I opened the bag. This is a NOS, never been warn Parkpre sweatshirt from 1992. It was still sealed in the original bag. May be useful for DIY jobs around the house and using as bike cleaning rags. Also included a t-shirt I have had since I first got a Parkpre - it was included in the box the bike came in :cool:
