Avocet currently markets a variety of different products. Compact cycling computers; anatomic saddles for men and women; tires with innovative tread for grip and speed; altimeter technology for cycling, skiing, and hiking; and heart rate monitors for precise training. Their R20 FasGrip 700C clincher tire is still my favorite for European Alps tours and bombing on the fire roads of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Unfortunately, no longer available with the tan sidewall. Only black. Yuck! Jan (former Avocet/Palo Alto Bicycles employee, who got busted several times by Bernie for sliding down the loading ramp inside the store) Johnson Palo Alto, CA
