[RBW] Re: FS: Pair of Parigi Roubaix Tires BRAND NEW

Just to check: 1. If I recall correctly, Parigi-Roubaix was the name Challenge used for their 700x27 tubulars, while Paris-Roubaix was the name for the clincher/"open tubular" version. Or was it the other way around? In any case, Challenge has since changed the branding - now

I was curious what tires folks are running on their Joe Appaloosa. I know the Compass Barlows are loved and was wondering what other tires folks were running. I was considering the 38mm Panaracer Pasela Protite. I don't really do gravel roads right now and was thinking that could speed up the

I could not have gotten luckier. The bike is great. The seller was fantastic to work with...in that he actually delivered the bike to me. It is mostly his build, minus the saddle and pedals. I don't plan to change anything, except maybe adding a pump to the 3rd set of bottle braze-ons.

Very nice. Champion Flyer? Do the springs work for you with drop bars? I tried one and I thought it didn't "give" enough to make it worthwhile, but this was on a drop barred mountain bike. Perhaps its time to try one again? On Sat, May 6, 2017 at 1:57 PM, Matt Beecher wrote:

It is indeed a Flyer and it takes just a bit out of the bumps. I probably don't need it with those tires, but that was really my only spare saddle. It does not give much, but I started using those over a standard B17 when I was riding trails shared with horses. Riding over the hoof prints
