I wish they'd have a 20 (or so) year anniversary so I could buy some of this to go with my 96 CR250 Resto.

I remember Wosick, Cantalupe, Turner,Richter at Watsonville all wearing that gear mid 70's and thinking how cool it was.
I am old but have some great memories of that time.

I think that is Bagget, because RC is apparently riding Reed's bike:

Did anyone notice that MC is wearing two different colorways in this photo? How did the Fox gear rep allow that to happen?

For some reason when i see this I think of the day when fox called RC and said "hey dude were sending you out out the fresh new line up of gear" and he was like " that's great here's my new sizes"

No one gonna ask why Reed is running yellow tires? I've been driving for 9+ hrs. Did I miss something?

He won't race with them. Apparently Pirelli came out with a new tire, Barcia has then on his as well.

Thanks. I just now stumbled across the yellow Pirelli thread.

Dude I raced my first race in those exact pants! Never got ahold of the jersey though. I would definitely grab a set of those at a fair price.

Ed! You sold that stuff?! I'm not a memorabilia guy at all, but I don't think I would have been able to part with that stuff

That is some of the best looking gear ever. Looked great in the late 70's, and still looks great.

these were nice, but i remember i got two sets from this era (green and yellow and the red blue white), the tops faded really bad.

Yes, they do fade. These have only been worn 5 times because I got hurt that year and the next year I got a Yamaha. These are basically brand new.

I forgot how classy some of that old Fox gear can look. And that looks really nice for the newer replica gear.

Not to sound rude, but seeing how fat RC is now, makes you realise how hard he must have worked back in the day to be the fittest in the class, esp if thats what genetics had in store for him the whole time.

Fox did a great job blending in RD5's sponsors with his gear. Even 12 year old kids with no idea this is an old design are gonna think this is freaking awesome!
