"Old" is the new "New" when it comes to Lexco's vintage tire line. IBDs specializing in bike restoration or customers looking for bike restoration parts are turning to Lexco for new tires spec'd to old bikes. And because the company has no minimums, shops can order as few as one tire.
A favorite in Lexco's vintage tire line is the Schwinn-type tire. Sizes include: 24 x 1-1/4 x 1-3/8, 26 x 1-1/4 x 1-3/8, 20 x 1-3/4, 24 x 1-3/4, 26 x 1-1/2 and 26 x 1-3-4. The tires are available in blackwall, gumwall and whitewall styles and are produced by Kenda USA.
Other Lexco vintage tire favorites include the Cheng Shin-manufactured 27" colored sidewall tire and the MX Comp 3 tire. The MX tires come in black, blue or red with tan skinwalls.
"We are getting more and more calls from dealers looking for niche tires," says Karen Peterson of Lexco. "Either the shop is building up a vintage bike or one of its customers is restoring an old bike. We continue to add new styles and sizes to our vintage tire line as we receive interest and orders from IBDs."
