 Poster: A snowHead

My parents have just discovered my old original pink Tecnica TNTs in their loft.
Well, they were fluorescent pink but the die has faded to rather more orange than pink.
They are rather stiffer than my current Icons so do we reckon that I should either:
1. Get UnkleSmallZooKeeper to foam me a set of new liners (as the existing liners are well knackered - about 26 weeks of use they've had) or...
2. Buy a nice new set of Diablo 130s from USZK at the start of the season?
What a difficult choice...

JT, am I allowed to use you as an official excuse then? Do you think Sophie will believe me?
That said, her Lange 130s are due for replacements anyway...

DM,
The only way you'll get out of this is if the project runs over budget...... and that will be a good excuse

The Origonal TNT's were actually white. The next year they were made in a Coral Red.

Flexon Phil, maybe in the US...?? I don't recall ever seeing white TNTs (unless Girls version?!?). I am happy to be proven wrong! My understanding was that they were following Lange in terms of colours for a while...
IIRC, in Europe anyway, the prior boots were dayglo yellow, can't recall the moniker, then 1990 brought the dayglo pink/orange. As referred to here http://cgi.ebay.com/MENS-RED-TECNICA-TNT-FIT-SYSTEM-SKI-BOOTS_W0QQitemZ8733550192QQcategoryZ16061QQcmdZViewItem - exactly my boots I think... (although there was a detuned version in more of a purpley-pink colourway).
Tecnica seem to have a habit of producing the same boot in multiple colourways, as my fave shop stocked Icons in Red 2 years ago.

Early 90's when the TNT came out it was indeed white , in the mens model, in the U.S. When the redish/Orange version came out is when, pardon the expression, it exploded. But I remember specificly, one of my shop buddies had the white one.

Flexon Phil, fair enough, I believe you. Can't quite imagine them I must admit and certainly don't recall seeing white in Europe. I don't suppose anyone has any piccies?
