What flavor of Conti's would you guys recommend for the IM? It could also use some new white hoods and white bar tape. Any suggestions are truly appreciated. Bike just needs a thorough cleaning and some Testors touch up paint. I can't believe how light the steel frame is. It's lighter than my aluminum Sirrus. It's going to be a blast getting this bike out on the road.
