Authentic Head Radical Tour Trisys 260?

[fromero92]

Hey guys, new-fangled collector here...

I was searching the internet when I found this Head Radical Tour Trisys 260 for sale. However, I was looking at pictures online and none seem to have that yellow bit at the top. Was is an alternate paintjob? Is this an original. It's at a fairly good price that I'd pick it up and hit a bit with it, but doubtful about that and I know there's quite the Head experts around here.

Thanks!

Probably a reissue from the early 00’s intended for mass merchants. I have an Oversize bumblebee Radical and it was made around then.

Interesting! Thanks. Will it play the same or similarly to the originals?

The reissues from 2000 were Oversize only as far as I can remember. Never saw MP

Does your racket say made in Austria?

Not mine yet. I'm considering it buying it but grew suspicious over that yellow bit at the top, cause I can't find any other pics of the model that has it.

I've looked at other photos and it does say "Made in Austria" at the throat, on the left side under the HEAD name.

That is original from 1993/1994. The yellow at the top was under the black paint that when over it. The racket was painted first yellow and then the black was sprayed over at the factory. It’s court rash from play that exposed the yellow paint.

I imagined it was probably something like that, but having not found a single pic with it, I was suspicious. As you can see, the pics aren't exactly amazing haha

Thanks for the confirmation, I'll probably go ahead and pick it up, its at a fairly good price. Thank you!
