700x23 tires with NO BLACK on them
anyone know of any available tires with no black sidewalls or black stripes on them? Preferrably not crazy expensive, but I'd be willing to pay a little more for 'em. Know of a vendor? gum sidewalls are fine...I'm having a lot of trouble finding any, though. thanks.

I prefer to choose tires for their performance but that's why I usually run sew-ups. But I have to admit I prefer the gum sidewalls cuz it's a "retro fashion thang'

I have seen all blond vredestein pro course tires that looked ****in gorgeous, real Nordic beauties. I think that they may be discontinued as I can find no info on them, but bfssfg member roadfix was rockin them on a steamroller and they looked great.
I ran skinwalls on my fg, cheap Bonty kevlar belted ones, but too many people said my bike looked cute (stylistically it is drifting into the rivendell zone) so now I'm back in black.

hey thanks, I found a few Gommitalia skinwall models. I have a pair of Vittoria Tecno Pro's that I got on ebay...I'd love to get more but I can't really find any vendors...same goes for the Continental Grand Prix's in skinwall. Anybody know some good vendors?
keep 'em comin'!

They're Rivendell Speedblends, and yes, they're made by Panaracer.
