Looking forward to my pariI mean pair.
I checked out the prototype 1 on the shelf at Riv-HQ yesterday, and
the tread was CRAZY thin. I'm glad Kirk put a little bit more meat on
them.
I guess I should buy that Bomba to accept these tires, too.

I hope it does make them Smile. I'm taking advantage of their really
generous SmileTrain promo to buy the Orange powdercoated 56cm Bomba on
the Frame Specials page. I'm smiling on the economics of it.
I give $250 to Smile Train, so Smile Train smiles

And consider that 2mm of tread is right between a Roll-y Pol-y with
1.5mm and a Ruffy Tuffy with 2.5, so we're not talking about Schwalbe-
style thicknesses.
I would have been curious to try the 1.5 version, actually, since I
rather dig the Roll-y Pol-y.

Just an FYI for those
Did Grand Bois really drop the 38mm project? This is the first I've
heard about it.
I'm starting a rumor right now: Grand Bois finally located the lost
Mistuboshi Trimline mold and we'll have a supple, folding Trimline by
summer!
Pass it on ;-)

I think Jan mentioned (in essence) that the market wouldn't bear
another 38mm tire right now given other offerings.

From the latest Riv Reader on the Paris-Moto:
The sample shown actually weighs 291g, but with a 1.5mm tread
thickness. Kirk says the production tires will be thicker-about
2mm-and the 308g listed here is a prediction. Width shown is 38.15
mm.
