New Bora Wheels on Speedvagen, what tires ?

[vincenz]

Black. It’s too loud with the tan. Eyes should be on that frame, not the wheels imo.

Depends.

To the OP - tan.

[m_sasso]

Tan = bicycle

Black = "Tronish" vehicle

The tan draws my eyes to the frame. But you can't really go wrong either way on that marque.

[huck*this]

Black. Makes the wheels look deeper which I know you like.

The Tan walls show here are Veloflex Vlaanderen and pretty amazing also


The seatmast topper is something new I am trying, I thought of adding a silver stem to match it. I will likely ether paint the seatmast topper black or paint the seatmast topper and the stem to match the frame.


I dont really know, maybe ask someone who rides clinchers, as its all Tubular all the time over here.

for the Vlaanderens
for all tubular all the time

And the more I look, the more I'm a tanwall vote. I would go black topper and keep the black stem. I think adding silver complicates things.

Paint to match the frame, ftw.

[MoparPorsche]

Black definitely.

[papa bless]

Black. You have a gorgeous frame, and anything other than black just distracts from it.

As someone who only has tubulars and has black sidewalls on all of them, I'd say you're safe either way. Just makin' sure it's being Kept Real.

Thx for all of the input guys, it looks like Black sidewalls win.

Such a great bike all around; It’s a keeper. That frame looks great with the black sidewalls.

The great thing about tires is that they wear out so you can change to the proper ones when you come to your senses

Maybe I will put the proper (tan wall I take that as) tires on my 7 622 ?
