Actually I'm going for Creamsicle

Tom, its a '72 Schwinn World Voyageur. I've measured but I have my moments of doubt that the Hetres will fit. Ordering spokes tonight so I'll know for reals soon.

I think its at least partially the looks. Everyone and their mother is hot for a white or red tread tire it seems. I know I am. Also, like the other Grand Bois tires (which are all made by panaracer) the tire has a nice supple casing which makes it roll easier. Additionally the fatty tires can be run at much lower pressures than their narrower counterparts which is nice and comfy and gives confident feeling traction on rough roads and trails. I haven't ridden mine yet but if the other Grand Bois tires I've got are any indication (and I think they are) these should be quite nice.

Also Neal Lerner says they are good, which is a thumbs up in my book.
