You going to stay with those Conti tires? I'm just wondering what it would look like with a tan sidewall ("gumwall") tire. My Tommasini has nice, skinny & light clincher rims with Veloflex Master tires, which are very tubular-like. I'd consider tubulars for it if I was string up new wheels. I have Veloflex Criteriums on three bikes and really like them. Some may disdgree but I figure if you're going to go with tubulars you might as well go with good ones.
