Re: Tires................GP4KII are bricks........tough as nails, but bricks.

Bought some Serfas RS Seca 28's on a recommendation. Light, supple, durable @ ~500 miles and counting. and $60(pair) shipped, from ebay.

Also heard good things about veloflex, as per rkwaki, and others..............too pricey for my pay grade though.
