    Similar, washing up liquid in hot water used with a magic sponge, rinse off. 10 minutes per wheel back to New. :)

    My daughter is sitting on the bike of a friend, judge for yourself if the white tyres are nice or not. It totally depends on the bike. I saw bikes with them that made me :scream::sob:
    But a couple of pics posted above with those tyres I loved! It can make your bike stylish :heart_eyes: IMG_20180930_101357.jpg IMG_20180930_110251.jpg

    I am pretty neutral on the subject but they certainly evoke that late 50s early 60s look (which I barely remember o_O)

    I could get myself into trouble here.......

    Which feeling? Carefree summer? Heat? (Think I’ll quit while I’m ahead....)

    That 50's feeling, or that charming feeling. That 'Hey, that looks absolutely amazing!' feeling... :yum

    A few us on here struggle with the Retro Rockabilly 50s thing because we were born into it and the 60s were WAY better but it all peaked and went South with the demise of Prog and Glam Rock! You are obviously a repressed bobbysoxer!
    Your daughter’s friend is rocking the naughty librarian look circa 1975!

    Guilty as charged. It was a cheeky reference to your approximate year of birth :mad:
