Perhaps the ultimate tire for pro racer level retro mountain bike restorations?  These are EXTREMELY rare, especially new.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eNew old stock, never mounted!  These are absolutely pristine, stored indoors at a legendary bike shop since new and they've been in my shop for 3 years now.  I haven't found another resto bike worthy of them, so I thought I would post them.  Sidewalls and tread feel as supple as a new tire made in 2020, with zero signs of dryness, gumminess, or cracking.  Inside and outside of casings are clean, with just a couple very light dirty spots that can probably be washed off.  Tread still has factory wax and molding nipples. *Photos of them on a 1991 Klein Attitude were a second set of identical tires I had, in the exact same condition*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003ePair\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eWire bead\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eTan gumwall, black tread, black\/red decal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e26x1.95\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Specialized","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53188155310220,"sku":"9471","price":299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/5144\/9740\/files\/vintage_700c_road_rims_ambrosio_velocity_deep_v_ritchey_max_2175__02529.1585880536.1280.1280_29151841-7ceb-43f2-9e0f-c516539414dd.jpg?v=1792353251","url":"https:\/\/swooncycles.com\/products\/nos-specialized-ground-control-extreme-gumwall-tires-26-x-1-95-vintage-1990s-wire-pair-pristine","provider":"Swoon Cycles (Bike ReCyclery)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
