Subject: [CR]Tubulars and tufos and l'eroica

Hello List, Regarding the discussion on tubulars and the quality of Tufos those tires, although I have not tried them yet, they for sure are of good quality. I know from an actual pro-racer in the team Gerolsteiner that the Schwalbe Stelvio tubulars they race are actually made by tufo and are just labelled Schwalbe. A lot of other pro teams use them the same way. So what the pros ride should be just good enough for our beloved old machines. I have also read a posting in a german list about a rider using them in l'eroica and having no trouble at all. By the way - are any german list members going to l'eroica? I thinking about going there, but as newbie i would be glad for some moral support beforehand.
