Trade my yellow tires for your "any color" tires

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Trade my yellow tires for your "any color" tires

Strange I ordered tires from ProBike Kit and they sent me yellow. While yellow is a perfectly ok color, I ordered black.
So:

Continental Grand prix 4000 new in box 700 x 23c Yellow.
will trade for:

Grand prix 4000 new in box 700 x 23c any color but yellow (or red...)

I am located in NYC & will meet in person within a 100 mile radius.
Thats all....

Yes, I understand they got sold. The nice deals aren't frequent anymore, and my last order from them took almost two weeks to get to SoCal. It use to take about six days. I don't look at them as my first stop anymore.

And the thing is, the colored tires do not have the Black Chili rubber, which is kind of the whole idea with the 4000 tires.

They will give a full refund but no exchange. I have to ship them to old England which is far away and requires expensive stamps (They will be refunding the postage : ) Took over 10 days to arrive in the first place.... Basta!
