Can anyone find the specs of the S-Works Pro Tour Classics Road Tubular? The internet doesn't seem to know they exist. This is the only mention I can find https://www.merlincycles.com/specialized-s-works-pro-tour-classics-road-tubular-tyre-317263.html
edit: The casing says fabriqué en France and there's a tiny FMB logo!
edit again: they're 355 grams, so must have lots of puncture protection. 30mm, cotton with latex tube. The nearest FMB spec is the Paris-Roubaix cotton 30. Can't find a weight. But the price is about 4x the Merlin price. https://www.renehersecycles.com/shop/components/tires/tubular/fmb-paris-roubaix-tubular/ They must have been made for Spesh-sponsored teams when Spesh didn't have an equivalent tub in their range.
