I won't be arguing for tubulars again. They're expensive, messy, fragile, and altogether too much hassle for a casual rider. Like I say, just send those Clement cotton and silk Criteriums so I can keep people from harm.

Way I see it...nothing to argue about. The winner is clear, and always has been, when it comes to a truly refined ride, there is only one choice.
