Default Conti Road Attacks - Own a bit of Motorcycling folk lore!

I have in my possession a pair of "Lightly used" Conti road attacks in Sv sizes. Quite how I ended up with these is a very interesting story but they happen to be the tyres that Mad Tony 252 started his racing career on.

Needless to say and quite obvious to anyone that has see the photos of Mad Tony's riding he has only used the last 2mm edge of both the front and the rear in an effort to get his ear down.

I don't think the middle of the tyres has ever been on the tarmac, in his efforts to get from knee to knee as soon as (super)humanly possible.

This is your chance to own a set of very competent Sports tourers that not only have 10K left in them but also have hero bobbles around the edges so you too can pretent to have superhuman cornering abilities!

Step into biking folk lore and become an icon by owning these tyres!

They stand me at 60 of your earth pounds and I'd be happy to pass these on as a favour to the new owners for the same amount (plus postage in case you can't fly here to pick them up in Newcastle, North Yorkshire or Edinburgh personally).

Here you can see Tony personally modelling the tyres for you and once the sun has gone down on this fine day I shall have actual photos of the actual tyres you are so lucky to actually have the chance of buying!

...actually!

I give you (for 60 quid like!) The outstanding front...



and the superb rear.



Unless you usually ride your bike to work on the last 2mm of the edge, these tyres will last you as just about as long as a new set

Don't use Parcelfarce for gawds sake. I use these folks now

http://www.parcelmonkey.co.uk/

They collect from where you specifiy , tracked and traced, insured and much much cheaper the PF

City Link collect in this neck of the woods for Parcel Monkey, so not a fly by night courier service

Sorry, but why are these still for sale?

The cheapest I can find this set for on Ebay is £193.95

Maybe a £133.95 reduction in price for 100 miles use isn't big enough?

To be fair I got a brand new set fitted for £175 recently and that was a 180 rear also as it was for the thou. Still a big saving though
