By "unround" I meant in cross section. The pair I have mounted nice and true and seem to ride fine so far.

Got FMB tubulars now on both wheelsets for my 1975 Motobecane. One wheelset has large flange Campagnolo Record hubs with polished alloy Super Champion rims, the other wheelset has low flange Campagnolo Record hubs with dark anodized Mavic GP4 rims. Loving the ride!

Clearly, superior "quality of ride" which, alas, so v. few who have the means to do, choose instead not to, eschewing classic geometry lugged steel for somethin' right outta China, right outta the box and down the road.

Don't eschew with your mouth open. It's not polite. ;-)

Riding sewups is like adopting like a religion; if someone has to convince you it's the way to go--it isn't.

I've been on the hunt for a Vittoria Terreno Dry tubular tire. I bought one, and like it, and figured I'd be able to find a matching one to make a pair, but they seem to be discontinued. I see lots of tubeless options, and Terreno Wet or Mixed tubulars, but I'm specifically looking for a Vittoria Terreno Dry tubular in 33mm with tan sidewall. A store named Smoke House has them in stock, but I'm hoping to avoid having to pay $99 + shipping (I only paid $40 for the other one). Anybody got one to sell or know when I might find one?
Fwiw, this is something for my vintage Motobecane Grand Jubilee. I'm a fan of fat gravel cross tubulars intended for gravel/hard-pack on my vintage road tourers and sports tourers. The "dry" terrain treads are fine on the road, and give a really plush ride, as well as the option for some trail riding.
