I'm riding on one set of GP5000 and the rear tire is worn to the point it should be replaced relatively soon. But I've decided I want to purge the bikes, all of them, of blackwall tires and I had been buying from Bike Tires Direct, I like them but the last few specials have been blackwall only.

My Gitane has very few miles on GP5000 in cream, 25mm. The bike has so much clearance I am thinking of trying 28's (I cannot remember the last time I had tires that wide!) and moving the near-new 25's to the Palo Alto . And buy no more blackwall tires.

And I just know there will be a great deal, and I'll buy, and at that moment they will announce the GP6000.
Will this do? Gotta act fact, though.
