Hey folks-
So, as I'm working on this Lenton Tourist, I'm discovering what a fun and funky bike it is. And discovering (well, actually, I've known it for a little while now) that it has Dunlop EA-1 sized rims, with a bead seat diameter of 597mm. Not a common size these days, and even in the day, only used on higher end British bikes and some Schwinns. I'm wondering, does anyone have a source for good quality tires for these rims? All I have found so far are pretty chunky Kendas. Does anyone make a lighter tire for these? Currently there's a set of gumwall Chinese tires on it, which don't look too hefty, but are pretty beat. Suggestions?
