What is that? a Crystal? it looks somewhat like a Tecnos but without the Gilco tube profile.
My choice would be Veloflex Masters, gumwall, 25mm, superb ride.
Rubinos are an odd range of tyres, some can be not too bad but others are like tractor tyres slow and heavy.

Yup, It's a Competiom Art Decor with Crystal tubing.
I've found Rubino's to be a heavy tyre that still get cut by glass easily and have questionable grip in the wet

Actually, I'm not sure now. It has Crystal tubing, but labelled as a Competition with Art Decor paint. Can't seem to find any other Competitions with Crystal tubing, they usually had Thron ?
Anyhoo, put black bar tape on and saddle/tyres from the parts bin and quite like it. Black shows off the frame quite nicely.

This turned up in the post yesterday from a forum member (picture sellers). Love the paint and the profiling in the middle of the top and down tubes. First Nag, hope this doesn't become a habit.
Don't get on with Rubinos so will change to Veloflex Master (gumwall) or Corsa (black), opinions on what will suit better ? Also will change bar tape to black. Longer term possibly saddle (depending on comfort), and maybe cranks which are bit tatty from heel rub. May also look to pick up a tub wheel set at some point
