Thats what it says .

I think they might be those friends of Hobot . :wink: " 'Le Pliage' (introduced in 1993), the company expanded into the high-end leather goods "

in the body of the article they state it is a Gus Kuhn long range tank. I also have a Gus Kuhn tank on my combat though mine has shorter skirts on the sides. the Gus Kuhn website has some good photos of the various seats and tanks they offered.

Duh, I guess it pays to read the article!

Didn't Reg Curley make all of the 'glass tanks back then?

Did any Gus Kuhn tanks come in steel or aluminum also?

Tanks - smanks, is it an optical illusion or does this fasion statement model have extra wide fat looking rims fitted? Yes Matt that's some of my city friends from the cocktail lounge/clubs on sky scrapper roof tops, some open to air others that turn inside huge globe that lights up in various patterns.

And smoking various oddly shaped hand rolled cigarette like devices with a pungent smell.
