Yours will turn out nicely I suspect. The tires are a set of cheap Kendas. When I first got this I thought I'd just fix it up and move it quickly hence the tires selected, but the darned thing grew on me and somehow I never seem to get around to selling it.
I thought about switching in a set of Paselas but the Kendas work well enough as is, plus they're stiffer so less prone to blowing off the hookless rims and the ride quality is acceptable. Good enough for the time being.
