I went to REI this afternoon and wound up with a pair of Pasela Crosstown 32's. They were ok on the road for a test ride this evening. They have a little tread which I like. I'll try them on gravel paths over the next couple o weeks. I figured the REI 100% satisfaction guarentee has me covered if they turn out to be less than optimum for my style of riding.

I cut open the rear Randonneur which had begun to get a little squared off across the tread and the tread cuts were almost worn away. I was suprised to see how much rubber was left and the layering inside. They have a red strip just under the tread rubber which looks like it is the main protection layer. It looked to be almost 1/8" material total. It would be very difficult for something to get through (hence no puncture flats). I'll wear down to the red if I use them again.
