Are these rideable? Or for show?
Ie would my 13 year old son (light build) be ok to ride xc on this?
Or possibly light downhill (he won’t be jumping)

Normally only for show. They can look OK but old father time isn't kind to the materials. It does make the survivors very rare and are priced accordingly.

People do ride with them (see Instagram), but it carries a risk, as with anything of this age. I'd suggest for show or very light occasional riding.

What would be winner, winner, chicken dinner is if somebody made new ones with modern fibres and clear plastic whatever it is. I think they would be stronger, than the originals, and there would be a market for them because they are iconic and look cool. It wouldn't affect prices on originals as collectors will still want them. Black wheel covers like EZ Gains time trial things with the Disc Drive pattern and logo printed on them might also be sellable.

...and no, i am not that somebody because i don't have the lolly. If i did, though, i think i would try. I see someone here in RB in 2014 had a go at covers and i found these
