sashae 02-17-06 12:55 PM

maxxis does an orange stripe

wearyourtruth 02-17-06 01:09 PM

i was gonna say conti GT3000's (they make a lot of colors) and tufo.

psn 02-17-06 02:12 PM

Yeah the Conti GP3000s should be on sale too since the GP4000s are now the hot ****. Either way, they've got both in orange.

too much of a pumkin or what? I was originally gunna go with red, but ive seen to many others with the red/ black, so i though dark grey/orange was a fresh idea. What do you guys think?

rodny71 02-17-06 02:45 PM

i think it'll be harder to find orange bar tape then orange tires.

shants 02-17-06 02:47 PM

again... vredestein fortezza tricomp. they are orange/orange. end of story.

i looked long and hard for some orange bar tape for my girlfriend and finally found some, but i can't tell you where i got it. not because it's secret info or anything, i just can't remember.

i just ordered some orange cinelli cork tape, so thats taken care of(thanks visitordesign).

Next comes some orange tires, but i really hope that it looks as good in person as it does in photoshop.

and thanks for all the tire reconmendation Im really leaning towards the gp4000 orvredestein fortezza tricomp, but haven't made up my mind.

shants 02-17-06 03:10 PM

the gp3000 are quite yellow compared to that cinelli tape. just fyi.

rodny71 02-17-06 03:17 PM

shants is right. dunno how well this photo shows off the tire, but if you want orange (and an awesome tire to boot), you can't miss with these:

$6 for the orange/white cinelli bartape i use

oldskoolboarder 02-17-06 03:56 PM

I have the maxxis tires. I also have orange salsa tape. The trick is getting all the orange to match. The salsa and Maxxis don't...

nocoins 02-17-06 04:47 PM

Already have the orange bar tape and orange tire on one bike. The other bike is painted like a creamsicle (see the Bike Pic Thread) ... so there, I did it already and you cant! PATENT PENDING!

sashae 02-17-06 04:49 PM

The Conti's are more like a dark School Bus Yellow, but they're absolutely awesome tires.

Highly recommended.

schwinntraveler 04-17-09 09:56 PM

how do the tricomps hold up to skidding?

SUPER STEVE 04-17-09 10:06 PM

Just ordered a Gran Compe SS tire in orange
