Hooey. Amazon.com/Niagra Cycle Works has beautiful skinwall IRC Roadwinner Duro II 700X28c tires for $19/ea or so. Best riding skinwalls I've ever used, period. QBP carries these, and your LBS can order them, but they'll charge you near $27/ea in most cases, which is why I suggest the Amazon.com supplier.

Alternately, Vittoria's skinwall Roma 22s usually run the $10-20 dollar range - these are excellent tires as well. Complete with herringbone tread. Search the forums for this tire - a supplier was mentioned a few weeks ago for this tire.

Finally, if you don't mind cheap-o quality, Kenda makes skinwall 700X25c tires ($10-15, have your LBS get 'em through J&B Importers) that look essentially identical to the Vittorias, but they aren't as satisfactory when it comes to rolling resistance.

Best of luck, Miguel - that silver headtube certainly does set it off. Beautiful, beautiful frame. Don't line the lugs.

P.S.: Yes, aero levers are a must. Put a Campagnolo Victory RD and FD on it - it deserves it, and those Victory mechs are easy enough to come by.

Take care,
