Post your bikes with white tires, please and thank you
For something a little different I'm thinking about running those white/cream panaracers on my green/chrome carlton rando build with either honjo's or white bluemels. So i'm looking for pics of any road bike you have running white tires. Also, do they get black and dirty after a while or what?

They are a pain to keep looking good, I took them off and gave them away after only a few rides. These are very nice tires, Vittoria Open Corsa EVO CX's; I hated that they didn't work out, I just felt it wasn't worth the hassle.

White Origin8 Elimin8-er Kevlar Belted
1989 Club Fuji. Yes, the white tires are looking dirty after each ride. The sidewalls aren't too bad, though - I like how they reflect car lights and morning sunlight nicely. The road dirt is kind of a brownish grey.
The ride of these tires feelsas though there's little resistance (the pressure is above 115) and the manufacturer claims a Kevlar belt. They're 700c x 25's. Mounting them on the Wolber Gentleman GTA rims was a pain, though. Very tight.

Schwalbe Delta Cruisers in 26", with another tip o' the hat (should perhaps be a tweed cap) to Veloria for the inspiration.
There are some very elegant looking bikes in this thread!

My baby again!!!! i didn't want to post another picture but the thread asked for it!!! i couldn't resist
To answer holiday's question. Yes they do get dirty, but usually only down the center of the tire about 4-5 mm on each side. My sidewally generally stay white, sometimes i'll just wipe them quickly to keep them shining haha. I'm using Vittoria Zaffiro 2 tires incase you're wondering, they're super white, not cream colored

Veloria, those are gorgeous bikes. I like this one in particular.
ScottRyder, OMG. I love Fujis, yet that one has taken on a whole new visual appeal. Is that a 63cm? How long are the top tubes on Fujis?

Oregon Southpaw, the Opus is a 62cm ST with a a 58cm TT ..
Veloria, there's an '86 Opus III (same as this one) in 50cm that may be available if I recall. Local to you .... PM me ...
This Opus languished on Ebay, I think two listings with a fair BIN but with no sales .. a bit big for me but since I spend 99.9 % of the time on it's saddle and not standing over it, wonderful! For more photos:

Lucky for me, I've since picked up the original pink suede Fujita saddle!

Scottryder - 50cm will most likely be too small for me; I ride 52-54cm roadbikes.
...And besides, I can't/mustn't buy more bikes, I just got done downsizing! : )
Inspired by this thread, I've now put together a "Cream Tires Directory" on Lovely Bicycle.
Please feel free to chime in if you don't see a tire that should be there.
