Dunno if that's a condemnation or not, honestly, 'cuz I'm in my cups tonight

But, no matter. I also have a vintage pair of Continental Giros (seriously, the older ones, from the mid-90s, they've been marinating longer than those last couple frames you put up on the block...), and - get this - enough Jantex tubular tape to affix 6 more tires to rims. Why? Because I forgot each box has enough tape for two wheels. While I got what I believed was enough tape for two sets was actually enough for four.

Oh, well; better too many than two few, at least in this case.

Also watching some modern Veloflex and Tufos on Ebay, just in case the old stuff doesn't play well in modern day conditions.
