General Information
This 700x28c tire dates from 1976 and has over 5000 miles on it. It's on the front of my touring bike and I still ride it on occasion. The gum rubber sidewalls have gotten dry and cracked but the tread is still firmly attached to the fine pitch "long staple Egyptian cotton" casing. These were extremely comfortable riding touring tires. I have a 1975 Wolber 700x38c on the rear. These Wolber clinchers have lasted over 30 years.
