I am seriously thinking of outfitting a few of my bikes with these. They look great, real old school style.

BD,
I tried them two years ago on my tourer. They didn't feel as responsive to me as the Pasella or Pasella TG, and the tread wore pretty fast. I began puncture flatting at about 1000 miles on the rear from small road debris/glass. On one of the final changes, I saw that the bead was tearing away on a small section, and I always kept them below the recommended pressure (which may have been 75 PSI, but I can't recall). Anyway, I wound up replacing them with Pasella TGs, and am happy with the switch. YMMV.
Cool shop, nonetheless. I hope that it works out for you.
Phil
