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.

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.

The Schwalbe Stelvio is a white & black tire: https://www.biketiresdirect.com/produ...il.asp?p=SC375
On that note, anyone know if it's a good tire?

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.

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.
