Just changed out my tires which were pretty beat and I switched from 700x25 to some 700x23.
I kinda wish my LBS had these in a different color, but I don't think they look too bad.

well, the celeste and the techno lights totally clash with the otherwise beautifully classic bike, but hey- can't ride without tires and lights.

Thanks, they're Vittoria Rubino II
I kinda feel the same... The celeste is a bit bright, but it was the only color they had. I wish there were some beige colored tires, but alas beggars can't be choosers.
As for the lights... I gotta ride with them despite the ugliness

Tigerpawn,
What kind of bag (tied under your seat) are you using? I know someone put a link to their website once, but I can't for the life of me find it anywhere. Thanks.

Thanks. Looks like they're backed up in orders for quite a while.

Are those cyclones road doubles? pretty clean bike overall, not a big fan of the black tape it's not like it's a big surprise what it says underneath it.
