Get some Ribmos. Not sure why everyone is so in love with Randonneurs here. Yes they are very resistant to punctures to so are Ribmos. The reason they are cheap is because they are bloody heavy. Getting the folding 'pro' ones helps matters but they stop being cheap then and they don't seem to make them under 32c.
I would rather use a 25c Ribmo at 330g than a 28c Rando at 490g. Worth paying the extra as that weight affects how the bike handles, accelerates, stops etc,.
Saying that, the Vittoria site lists a 25c Rando whichs weighs in at 390 but I guess no one sells these?
