Custom bike builders love the Firestone Deluxe Champion. The mixture of zig-zag tread and statement-making chunkiness means it’s on brats, bobbers, cafes and many bikes creating their own categories the world over. We only sell the genuine Firestone, anything else isn’t worth putting on your project. In stock now in these sizes: 350-16, 500-16, 350,18, […]

I’ve owned my Anglia for nearly 30 years now. It started as a “one owner from new, never been welded” 1200 Super DeLuxe. I was actually looking for a nice two door Mk2 Cortina, to re-shell an incredibly rotten Cortina Lotus. However, I found the Anglia in a local paper and at the time […]
