Kerrigan:

The tan sidewall kevlar belted tires are not tubulars but clinchers. A certain wholesale distributor in Hayward CA has them in stock. approximate retail is $25.00 a tire, available through your LBS, like maybe Cyclesport on Grand in Oakland.

Hutchinson does make a reflex tubular tire (team Sierra Nevada uses them actually), but it is not kevlar belted and the sidewalls are black. Those are about $30.00 a piece.

> I understand that Hutchinson now makes a Reflex Kevlar in an inoffensive color scheme (I think regular Reflex are not available with beige sidewalls). Do any of you know if this tire is available in the U.S. and what the approximate price is? You can see the tire in question at http://tires.hutchinson.fr if you can deal with the gratuitous flash animations.
