I put the Barlow's on when they came out and rode it for a few weeks. I
had VO Zeppelins and there were two issues. Lots of toe overlap, and it
felt big to me. In a ponderous way, I guess. It was much less nice than
the Cypres tires I was used to, and the overlap was annoying so it killed

Patrick, either color would work with the blue. If you have other gray
components, bags or Thin Gripster pedals, the gray would look better.
If you're opting for ranger tan bags, I think the cream would look better.

It's kind of like riding on rough pavement. A subtle vibration that you can
feel through the handlebars. I've found that having the lights on and then
starting to ride makes the vibration harder to discern than is the case if you

not that he wants fatter tires than will fit on his 700c Hilsen. It is that
