I have an 83 Team Fuji, and if the C&V crowd saw what I've done, they'd belittle me for doing it (stem adapter, stem, anatomic bars, aero levers, a new style cutout saddle for my prostate gland, and clipless pedals) I don't worry what others think about my bike. My wife doesn't like the white saddle, bar tape, and cable housings on a brown bike....She doesn't ride it, but I do.

If YOU like the red tires go for it, after all it is your bike and you need to be happy with it.
