Bikes: Wow, where to start? A collection of 1980's and early 90's road, touring, and MTBs from the likes of Trek, Schwinn, Cannondale, Fuji, Miyata, Univega, Panasonic, and GT. It has gotten rather out of control.
I just ordered a couple of sets of Conti Ultra Sport 3s in 27X1-1/4 from Amazon at 19.99 ea. It is really hard to beat those for the money if you are riding fairly clean paths and roads. I have a hard time paying more that $20 a tire, so I am glad there are still some bigger brand options at that price point. It seems like the 27" tires are getting hit hard with the current COVID bike boom of folks pulling out of the garage or buying older bikes. Supplies were low for 27" pre-COVID and now we have blown through all of that stock on hand. It actually might end up ensuring us better supplies of 27" in the future due the the resurrection of so many older bikes and the spike in demand for that size.
