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

yeah, I don't know how it performs, but it could be the greatest tire in the world and i wouldn't use it. That's absolutely the ugliest tire I've ever seen. I'd like to see the bike that it would match.

those predate the pr2. i still have axial pros on my fixed gear. that tire has to be 5-6 years old at this point. not that that's bad, but it's something to consider. i wish michelin would still do special color runs. i have a red white and blue TDF edition that looked so good on a bike.

I wanted to get them when I was building up my first one speed and wanted to be as garish as possible. I still think they look great, in a hideous kind of way. In the end I didn't spring 35 bucks a tire on ebay and ride black tires.
