Unopened. Mint condition.
I don't think these classics are available now? I can't see them on SJS.

Very nice, Matt, bound to draw someone's interest. I have two folding Duremes left in my back-stock. I take one with me as insurance on long, remote solo tours "just in case" after a past incident where I had a backcountry tire sidewall failure larger than my boot material and dental floss stitching could really cover well, making for an uncertain journey to a paved road and eventual replacement.
I've found Duremes to be very nice riding, long-lived tires that make for good all-'round performance. I ride logging roads with heavy, sharp ballast rock and do sometimes have to use care to avoid sidewall cuts in that one circumstance but not otherwise. Even my tandem likes them!
Best, Dan.

Matt,
I am interested.
Please let me know what £££ you would find appropriate.
I definitely have a UK address.

Whenever I have seen discontinued Schwabe models for sale, I always wonder how rideable a state they are in. Isn’t it said that after about 5 years of exposure to oxygen, bike-tyre rubber becomes brittle and wears quickly?

Now sold folks.
Thanks for everyone's interest.
