Addendum: Apparently, C&V must have had this same conversation back in 2009, because I found this very black Bontrager on a very white rim, on a very 1961 Paramoung in my photo archives. Looks like I was trying to piss everyone off during the Dawn of the Deep V era.
Somewhere, I have an equally revolting picture of some carbon-spoked deal in the back of the same bike...but we were talking about tires, right?
EDIT: Found the pic. It has a skinwall on it. Too bad I didn't have the Deep V available for the pic
