650 tires
Where are you getting them? I'm down to Ebay but I hate that whole auction thing. Nashbar had some closeouts for 7 bucks a piece. I bought 4 shoulda bought 50.
I love this bike but may have to think selling it for something with 700s unless I can find a good supply of 650s that aren't 50 bucks a pop.

Have you used those? The cheap ones I got were Kendas and the tread was soft as butter and they didn't last long as trainers. I know they make many tires though.

Vredestein, Hutchinson, Continental, Michelin, Schwalbe, Kenda and others all make 650s but I took it from the OP that he really wanted to stay as cheap as possible.
I like the Michelins and lately have been using Conti 4000s but either are at least $35 if you catch them on sale.

Probikekit has a few 650 tires for sale. Most are racing clinchers and tubulars. No econo training tires.
