I like the Veloflex as well. They are as you pointed out a little pricey. For the price of Guedo and Sonia at Veloflex (as advertised the tire is made in the plant Vittoria vacated years ago) I will go with the Asian worker from Thailand. He works cheaper so Torelli's overhead is lower and the Gavia has a thread count of 320tpi and runs about the same. Or go with Torelli's Arezzo with a 260tpi at about $45-50. I like my tires high performance and comfortable (must be above 200tpi) . There are several good choices out the but nothing under (in my opinion) under $35.

I'm a fan of Veloflex Pave's. A bit pricey but very very pretty, classy and tough!

Somebody needs to tell yall about Torelli Torino Brown (gumwall). So here goes. A 700x23 tire with 240tpi and goes for about $35 and is a smoking good tire. Handmade (like Vittoria) also made in Thailand (like Vittoria) and is classified as a Open Tubular (like Vittoria).

Didn't know they made them other than black/colored sidewalls but Vittoria Open Corsa Classic EVO CX on sale at colorado cyclist but still $40 per tire.
