I once sold a Basso "Gap" after a ten minute ride, just because it was fitted with tubulars. I wanted nothing to do with that antiquated technology. However...

I find, restore and ride my vintage road bicycle to see how they feel. If you want to maximize ride quality, of a vintage road bicycle, you might want to fit tubulars. The ride quality is much better, in my opinion.

These days, if a bicycle I am restoring is pre-1976 and originally fitted with tubulars, then the tubulars are fitted again. My PX10 does not feel right without the original tubulars(yes, I built two wheel sets for comparison purposes), and my CCM "Tour du Canada" is a bit of a dog when fitted with 27" clinchers. And my soon to be test ridden Bottecchia "Professional" is already fitted with tubulars and will remain so.

I say go for it - at least one time. Then you can be one of the guys responding, to a thread like this one, next time one is presented.
