Two other items:

1) If I intend on riding distances with any of my bikes, they get Nitto Noodles or Randonneur bars. Hand positions and the choice of changing them often will keep me going all day!

2) Challenge Parigi-Roubaixs are a tire I really like. I used a set last summer on my Bruce Gordon and I can only report a positive experience. I have a friend though, that had the same tires and had some flatting issues. I only wish I could get them in a little wider size range.

Who knows, but they roll sweetly mile after mile for me.
