Also, for clincher users desiring a "vintage"
appearance, red Ritchey's (a very good 25c) can look
like orange tread tubulars if you're squinting, both
of Rivendell's tires have a good look as well as a
good ride, and Vredestein Fortezzas with the normal
color sidewalls would qualify, too. Mount any of
these on a Torelli Master rim built with Wheelsmith
butted spokes and you have IMHO the most "classic"
appearance of any contemporary wheel goods.
