Sometimes it takes several iterations before you get it right...

First prototype



Subsequent improvement



Final product release

That bike is like my Rambouillet but I NEVER bought any Speedblend tires. I did get a set on a bike that I bought second hand. They rode fine but I had to get rid of the tires. I got REALLY tired of explaining what they were everywhere I rode them.

If you can find some tires with red tread and black sidewalls they would look cool. I used to have some on my Strada Bianca and they brought out some red details on the bike nicely.

+1 on this

Michelin Power Endurance with a red wall and black tread would be cool. There are other brands, too, that have this styling.

I think pinstripe sidewalls are most likely to look good. If you go too wide it will overwhelm the bike.

Looks like most prefer black walls.
