Hey guys, remember how we were talking about a dream custom Clementine (don't make me call it a Clem!) with more lugs? Did you see the photos of the blue custom mixte on Grant's Blahg today? It looks like someone almost made one! There's swoopy stays in back, and even though there's no swooptie-

Thunder Burts. If you want supple, you'll be amazed how supple they are if you get the no-protection version. I had no flatting issues until a year(ish?) in, when they got 5-6 flats in rapid succession. i figured they were done, so that's when I shifted the Racing Ralphs for more winter tread.
