Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

i have a set of conti gp4000 to match my orbea... in orange of course. It actually looks Hotter than you think it would. but i dont think vredestein makes any... i'm pretty sure when i looked conti was the only one.

Oh, and make sure you get orange handelbar tape too, that looks really good.

And if you can go an orange pulley wheel (tacx makes them)

It's just s shame that i dont think there are any other range parts out there.

A couple years ago I bought some Maxxis Xeniths in black and orange for about $10 ea. Because the color scheme didn't work with my bikes, I was holding them, hoping a Princeton alum would cycle by. Eventually I gave them to a friend who rides one of those Orbeas with the Euskatel paint....
