Thanks guys, I've been checking JensonUSA (I've been a customer/fan for a couple decades now), but they're also almost out of stock on the Continentals (same for Cambria, who has them for $16.22). But, they have more of an off-road-ish tread than I think I'm looking for. I'm really digging how smooth and nimble this bike feels with the smoother street tires on it, unless something better and cheaper materializes, those Michelins might be my huckleberry.

Edit/ Update : I found some 40mm Vittorias on close-out at Chain Reaction in the UK, for $13 ea. They got solid reviews, so I just ordered 3 of them, and a couple Continental 37-47c Cross tubes, to put me just over the $50 free ship minimum. I considered some nice looking Schwalbe commuters for just a little more, but they were still too knobby for me. I want to keep this one a smooth roller, I ain't going off-road with it.
(plus, the Vittorias were a much better deal, relative to retail prices).
Thanks again.......
