Clinchers!? The bike has tubulars! Why would you put clinchers on it? This is like when i was eight and Danny Ross told me there was no santa and i th ought "if there's no santa, there's no god." Nic[k], i look to you for guid ance in all things cyclic. Scrounge up some flint catchers and keep the sew -ups before i sink into total despair. Oh yeah, the Lyotard 23s, always a g ood choice. Or Atom 700s. TAs are just too pretentious for that very lovely , unassuming bike. billy [i hate clinchers almost as much as i hate shimano ] ketchum; chicago, il; usa
