Pair of Vittoria Corsa CX Tubular Tires - Celeste w/ tan sidewalls
A very nice pair of lightly used Vittoria Corsa CX tubulars with celeste stripes and tan sidewalls. These have been mounted but very lightly used. They won't match any bikes I own. I don't do striped tires either, but who am I to judge? Any Bianchi owners out there? These have obviously been mounted and used, but not much. The diamond pattern in the center is still very crisp. Great tires but I'm flush with tubulars and color intolerant. One tire has an extender I can include or remove as you prefer. SOLD

What are the determining factors that tell us which bikes they might fit and which they might not fit? They appear to be 70Oc. Is that the issue?
I would be putting them on a 87 Prelude or 92 Paramount, for example.

And that label, "T.T.", does that suggest Time Trial, which is to say fragile?

That's not my understanding. I believe T.T. is just short for tubular tire, or possibly twin tread (for the stripes). They do have the Kevlar protection and appear to have the same tread thickness as my other Vittoria tires.

@jimmuller, Such a gentleman!
@seedsbelize, Let me know if you want them, otherwise Jim dibs after you. Btw, I get good shipping rates, so I'll do $70 shipped to Belize as well.

"Twin Tread" would be my guess as well if the tread doesn't otherwise feel thinner than average: VeloBase.com - Component: Vittoria Tecno Twin Tread
Perhaps since dual-compound treads are commonplace on road tires now, it's less worth drawing attention to them, hence the abbreviation.

Jim can have them; I've just begun doing research on tubulars, something I never thought I'd be interested in. Like wheel building, which has become one of my favorite bike-related pasttimes. FYI, I live in Yucatán now, where mail simply disappears enroute. Can't speak for Fed Ex though.
