Hi – I know there is another tubulars thread running currently, but I’m posting here to avoid further hijacking that thread.

A friend was kind enough to give me some NOS tubulars he has no use for – some Vittoria Swallow Montello and a Vittoria Competition Formula Uno.

I have not found much of anything about them in a quick BF and web search (other than one BF member who had a bad experience with a Formula Uno tire).

Can anyone comment on these tires, from personal experience? Which are better tires, the Swallow Montello or the Competition Formula Uno? Any sense of where they fit in a Vittoria hierarchy?

Please, I’m looking for feedback only on these particular tires, since I have some in hand. Thanks!
