Bikes: Upright and Recumbent....too many to list, mostly Vintage.

Freakin Cool Cranks.

@ the OP, I love my Vittoria EVO CX tires...just bear in mind they are high end tires with High TPI casings, no added puncture protection and simply have less rubber on them than a standard tire. Folks who are accustomed to Conti Gatorskins and Panaracer Pasela TG's are likely gonna say those Vittoria tires are flat prone and wear out quickly. Just bear in mind its all relative.

I've had mine for 2 seasons and they've got some miles left but they are starting to wear out and I'll likely replace them in the spring. When I first put them on I was getting a lot of pinch flats but it was only because I wasn't in the habit of pumping them up to 110psi and checking the pressure regularly. Once I started doing that the flats disappeared. User Error.

Say what you like about the durability but I'll say this much about those tires....show me a person who thinks they don't offer a great ride and I'll show you a person who doesn't know what a great riding tire feels like.
