Yeah, the white ones have been posted before. Who's gonna pay over $300 per tire? lol

I like those Simplex tires.

Those are all repro tires. They will not fit on bicycle rims at all, as the bead specs are different.

The solution to that is to use the proper vintage-repro motorcycle rims as well, but then you're looking at $250-$350 for each tire, and $100+ for each rim.

There's no question that it would work--but in the last several years I've been visiting here, I have yet to see one person do it.

That is not correct. The second ones posted, the coker simplex 26 x 2.5 servi-cycle reproductions do, in fact, fit a 26" bicycle rim. As a matter of fact, the earliest simplex rims where bicycle wheels.

Sorry, you are completely wrong. The tires on all 3 links will work on standard clincher-type bicycle rims.

Sure, no one's done it yet, but then look at the typical MaBer. A $100+ tire is one tough pill to swallow, want two?
