Orange tires?
I'm looking for some examples of orange tires for my upcoming CAAD9 (it's the 2008 white frame, I'm still deciding whether I'll want to go with a blue or orange scheme down the road)...the closest thing I could find was the "Yellow" in the Conti 4Ks...does anyone have orange tires on their bike? If you do, could you tell me the model and post pics? Thanks!

However, as a peformance clincher tire I MUCH prefer Continental GP4000-S or chili compound Attack/Force tires.

Have I found the saddle for you

(not my auction, I just saw it and remembered this thread)
(also not my taste, but if you like orange, more power to you)

I've got "Conti Yellow" GP4000s on my orange Orca. This is really a nice orange color but don't confuse this color with the plain yellow that Continental also sells. I don't have a pic of them on my bike now since I'm running on a different wheelset but here is an image I got from PBK:

Thanks blacksquid, this was the kind of shot of those Conti's I was looking for...their website really doesn't give much of a clear indication of what shade of orange it is, but that "creamsicle" orange was about what I was thinking.
And I have no idea what to think of that orange Selle Italia...could have done with some black highlights
