Bike Setup: The Three C's - Colnago, Campagnolo Cinelli - Colnago Mexico 1985 approx, Super Record group, Cinelli bars and stem, Flite Saddle, an oldie but a goodie.
Summary: Its a shame these tires are discontinued, I have used these for the years and just wore out my last set. I bought my last set at a big discount because black rubber was not fashionable anymore and I stayed with this pair as long as I could. Now I'm trying some Conti 3000's, not sure I like what I just read about sidewall blowouts.
Strengths: Good ride, good puncture resistance.
Weaknesses: can't buy them anymore

Bike Setup: Rossin with Suntour Equip and Mavic/DuraAce Rims
Summary: Great tyres and I am loking foward to my next two. The side walls are now finished from age and a cut has allowed the tube to poke through.
Strengths: Had them on the road machine for some 8 years (better believe it - 4 years with little riding in the middle) and me being 230lbs (heavy) these babies have served me well
Weaknesses: nil

Bike Setup: Custom frame made by me. Columbus Foco tubing, 3.4 lb frame, straight blade columbus fork, 1.4 lb, both painted by my buds at Co-Motion. Full DA 9sp, 28 hole open SUP. Nice riding bike, looks pretty too.
Summary: Great tires, great price.
Strengths: I have been commuting in San Francisco on these tires for a couple of months and have had no flats. The ride is nice, and they seem to corner well. I have also taken them on some long road rides and have no complaints. They mounted easily, and run true.
Weaknesses: I don't know where to buy them now.
