Tire reccomendation for silver frame
Hi,
I was wondering what tires you lot would reccommend I put on my silver vintage frame (circa '79). I am in the process of building up a wheelset (silver rims, silver spokes, silver hubs), and want to use tanwall/brown/yellow sidewall tires with file or slick tread. My go-to-choice are Panarcer Gravelking slicks (relatively cheap, nicely rolling and TLR) but I am looking for alternatives (prefferably affordable
). Currently using Challenge 700x25C tubulars.

The tubulars look silvery sweet to my eye.

Vittoria Corsa is another option - the new graphics aren't as good as the old though. (Surprised to read that here, huh?)

I am so impressed with these that I am running them on just about everything. Now, the OP might not care but the max width offered is 28mm, which is OK by me -- if you want wider, black only is what I've seen.

have you ridden GP5K’s ? they roll really well ...
pair them with a wheelset with Campy Record hubs and you will coast uphill lol
on a silver bike you will rarely need to pedal ... of course on a red bike you might be able to coast the entire ride
