i always buy second hand tubs on ebay.
tubs dont seem to be that popular so you tend to get some great bargains as long as you're happy to wait.
condition and practicality are my priority when looking for tubs over looks and aesthetics.
i like continental tubs (gatorskins) they are durable and last.
vittoria tyres definitely have a timeless look about them and will look good on any vintage machine however i do find them quite sensitive especially on uk roads.
whichever tyre i have i always fill them with a good latex sealant for added protection.
the cheaper tubs like continental giros or vittoria rally are a waste of time and in my experience just disintegrate before they ware out.

I need some new tubs for my Hobbs of Barbican as the old ones have disintegrated to the point of being no longer being viable. Does anyone have any suggestions for some new ones that don't look too out of place on an old bike? We really need another run to Cambridge again this year.
