All White Tires?
 
Anyone? Thanks!

Live2Die 09-25-07 12:40 PM

I don't know about all white. But I have some Soma's with a white stripe and I post a warning. I cannot keep mine clean they get brown and green real quick. they look sweet but don't stay white. I am sure you know it but it has been worse than I was expecting.

damit I had a green bianchi folder like that and sold it. garrrrrrrrrr

I've got two, I keep on meaning to get coaster brakes for them but never have gotten around to them. The GF has made it quite clear that those two are the two that I am NOT allowed to sell, haha.

was working on it with vittoria, but since the strike they are not doing customs until the factory is up to speed.

p.s. white deep v's w/ white tires = eyeball orgasm.

uhh, there are no tires in that first pic, the tires in the 3rd pick are italian colours, not toooo hard to find

lvleph 09-25-07 05:24 PM

I see no tires in any of the photos. I do see green rim tape.

That bike is the perfect size for me. Too bad I don't have the money to buy it right now.

Kenda makes them. Schwalbe makes an all white tire but also in 26". You could check with those manufactures...

could you elaborate on this more? i ordered some white rubino pro's and there are on backorder and i am trying to figure out if this is an "indefinite" backorder.

I gave up on waiting for my back ordered white Rubinos. I went for a light grey Michelin Pro Race.

no, thanks. they'll only last a day before they go from "white" to "s.hite".

Vredstein makes the ever-rad Tricomps in white/black.

bexley 09-25-07 08:04 PM

The Schwalbe Stelvio is a white & black tire: http://www.biketiresdirect.com/produ...il.asp?p=SC375

On that note, anyone know if it's a good tire?

humancongereel 09-25-07 08:12 PM

i had one for about two days before i realized it was the worst tire i'd ever used and then it fell apart on me.

okay, so it was more than two days, but it's the shortest-lived tire i've ever used.

gargiulo.mike 09-25-07 08:14 PM

not to hijack this thread but does anyone know who makes the gum colored tubular tires?

mcafiero 09-25-07 08:39 PM

I think white looks awful. It belongs on little Jimmy's tricycle. That said, I am looking forward to putting some silver Vittoria's on my Mystic Mountain Grey CrossCheck.

Talking about the Schwalbe Stelvio, right?

how long were you waiting for??

i was told by the shop i ordered them from that they were probably out of stock cause it was the "end of the season"... nothing was mentioned about people on strike...

I was waiting for at least a month and a half. I know that is not long, but I didn't have tires.

Those were painted white. They were originally pink, if I remember correctly.
