metz racetec k2 second hand $50 from trademe. Sides are fairly stripped but almost full tread in the middle. I just wanted it cause I dont think my current tyre is going to do the 2up trip to Kawhia this weekend and commuting is killing my tyres.
probably go pilot road 2 when the "proper change" comes along.

Just waiting to see if my final bid on some Continental Race attacks (front and rear) has been successful ($285 - lightly used....I hope

Hey guys, I was over in Ashhurst and PNth yesterday and only saw a few slow scooters - where were all the KB'ers?

I'll be going over to Napier to join the HB KB'ers there on a ride from Taradale at 1.30 pm, Saturday the 19th. Staying at a backpackers and hope to get a couple friends from Masterton to join me. Anyone from the Manawatu want to join us?
