I'm not always the best informed about all the nuances of retrobike authenticity but what precisely is specifically retro about amber skinwall tyres. During our hayday of retroness was this the only tyre option for mtb's. I'm pretty sure all black bicycle tyres have existed since the year nought and thus presume all black mtb tyres have existed since the begining of our sport. If this is not correct then please tell me.
Just wandering as in mention of retro classification for the next IOM end to end race a suggestion was all retro entrants should have amber skinwall tyres ?
Baring in mind how difficult its getting to find NOS amberwall tyres, wont such a specification become dfficult in future retro races. I know modern amberwall tyres exist such as splashbacks but technically isnt that cheating as they are not actually retro.
