Anyone know where I could get a set of cheap cx (700c) tires? Preferably gum wall to match the vintage look of my bike.

I want to put a set of cross tiers on my fixy so I can ride it on some of the sand a gravel roads around here, and for general cruising around town.

Thanks.

I just bought a pair of Schwalbe Marathon Supremes for a cyclocross bike I'm building, and also ordered a Panaracer Pasela TG 700x32c just to carry as a spare because they are lightweight and cheap. I was *amazed* how much thinner and lighter the Pasela is, compared to the same size Supreme. Hell, if it wasn't for the tread pattern, I'd call it a 32c racing tire!
