[RBW] Re: New tires at RBW
A few people convinced me that the Paris was the way to go for me so if Rivendell starts carrying them then they will get my money.

I think the Col de la Vies are great all around tires. Ryan On May 31, 3:39 pm, Rene Sterental wrote: > Is this the tire to go for? I have to select a good all purpose tire > for my daughter's Betty.

[RBW] Re: New tires at RBW
I used to run nifty swifties and switched to col de la vies on my saluki; they are nice, comfy, all-purpose tires that don't break the bank. I have maxy fastys on my single-speed protobleriot and the set up feels light and fast. I commute 20 miles a day from south Minneapolis to downtown St. Paul (but don't do it every day) and haven't had a flat (knock on wood) on any of them over the past four years. cheers, liesl -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Just received a package from pacenti cycle design. The pari motos are on the Saluki! They are light and supple. I will see how durable starting tomorrow.
