Those veloflex masters look nice as well I'm going to keep them in mind but these continentals are definitely making their way up my list.
Id be interested in seeing/hearing a comparison of the Rubino Pro 3's against these contintental gp4000 from someone that's used both.
Continental makes really nice tires, but if we're bumping up the price range, so do we. The Ultremo ZX is our entry into this market. When you're comparing your tires, make sure it's apples and apples. If you're also using this bike (these tires) for commuting then you may want to go with the (Ultremo) DD.
I will say that if you're crieteria is about aesthetic, go with the blue. If grip (especially in the wet) is more important, go with an all black tire. Color pigmentation makes for a slightly less grippy compound which is even more pronounced when roads are wet.
