Would you guys buy/ride a disc that is that old? It’s mint condition externally but As I understand it they are filled with a foam substance - would this break down over time and reduce structural integrity do you think?
i do have a habit of over thinking equipment durability as a heavier rider ( 100kg at the moment).
I used a Zipp disc from 1999 until I broke it in a crash in 2015. I don't think you have to worry about the structural integrity of the disc. The big problem with a Zipp disc of that vintage is whether you can get parts if you have to rebuild the axel/bearing assembly.
I also agree that the price is too high.
