Tioga Psycho II's Any Good?

[Iwasgoodonce]

Have just been up the loft on an un-blocking mission (don't ask!) and saw some old tyres stashed up there. Amongst the part worn Farmer Johns are a couple of the above. They are light grey with amber walls and look new or as near as damn it new. I used to be sufficiently skint to only buy tyres when they were needed and then use them to destruction, so why these are almost unused is a mystery.
Are they any good? The Ritchey needs new boots would it be a disgrace to use them on that?

Who was after a Farmer John's Cousin the other day?

I used some II's on my DB Apex BITD.

Worked fine for me.

I believe they were a good mid-ranger.........bit like my old Apex!

yes - grey Psycho II's are rubbish. Send them to me and I'll safely dispose of them for you

TBH - like everything retro, Psycho's have their fans and critics. I rate them and would use them.

I used to have some grey Psycho's - they looked a bit different and were only £7.75 which was cheap when I was a student

That's right - I remember they were a stunning deal at Merlin's in the mid 90's!
