Wanted: 2x black tubular tyres

Posted on
  • I'm after 2, all black 700c road tubs.
    (preferably new, but not really interested in repaired)

    willing to spend £40 max, cheaper the better ;)
    Thanks!

  • Black with gumwall definitely no good? Have pair of new Schwalbe Milano for £30 if you want

  • it's for a mid 90's build, so would prefer all black.
    If i have no luck will probably PM you. cheers

  • Gumwall tubs are a must for a mid-90s build.

  • i always presumed they'd look out of place,
    i associate gumwalls with the 70's for some reason

  • My mid-90s De Rosa;

  • stop showing off,
    point taken

  • you want these:

    i have seen them somewhere even cheaper 14.99 or so.

  • thanks chris, i was looking at rubino pro's but couldn't find them cheaper than £20,
    good to know they are knocking around a bit cheaper, may have to search harder.

    :-)

    Sorry.

  • nicest bike i've seen in a long time

  • Definitely gumwall for a 90's build

    Whatever you choose, buy a few sets. Saves time when you puncture. I was pretty lucky and seemed to average about 1 a month on long rides. Also carry a spare or two ready glued (or some spare tape), although the vittoria puncture stuff holds for quite a few days.

    Another example :-)

  • i see what you're saying, they do look good, i'm just not sure it'll look good on my bike:
    this is it, it'll have road shamals on it so try to imagine.:

    (dont pre-glued tubs get all messy?)

  • Hi jambon, i have a pair of black Vittoria tubular tyres for £30 if interested. cheers

  • Hi Mike, please find some pics attached of black and also green tubs. regards.

  • don't want to waste your time...

    i'm after all black really, if i'm going for gumwalls i'd buy cheap vittoria rallys

  • thanks chris, i was looking at rubino pro's but couldn't find them cheaper than £20,

    i think it was skully who posted a link to the cheapo rubinos. was a while ago though.
