Received a pair of Cerf Blue yesterday... first ride was today.

Mounted on 1990s Mavic "Open Pro" rims and inflated to the recommended 105 PSI they measure 24.5mm wide, and are very round with no lumps or high spots.

Excellent ride - better than any other clincher I've tried. I'm anxious to try them on a couple of different bikes to see how they affect performance.
