Always a tough call on tubulars. You got the riders with tricked out wheels and you can't skimp on rubber. Then have to consider how often it'll be ridden, the longevity factor. Still haven't gravitated to billboard, NASCAR graphics on new tubulars either. Hate them on vintage bikes.
You go thru the effort in small details but then those damn stupid looking sidewalls. Yuk. What else to do but hunt down pricey vintage NOS tubulars. LOL
