=0D =0D My preference is tubulars for my vintage racing bikes and clinchers for touring or randonneuring bicycles. I just like the way they ride.&nbs p; Tubulars are a snap to change should they flat, but I will nev er ride a set of vintage setas on the street. Usually a modern tubula r such as a Vitorria CX works for me for those vintage bikes that venture o nto the street. =0D Gabriel, surely you remember the Tom Adams ride when I blew out that ol tubular on the Montelatici? We were back on the road in two shakes.
