CR listers -

I am looking to find out more information on a tire model which I have seen here or there.

the general type can be seen here: http://www.vintagebicyclepress.com/images/faure.jpg (click on the photo to resize to large)

I'm guessing that this particular tire in the photo says "pneumatici clement," but i'm also guessing that more than one tire maker made such a model. michelin, or perhaps pirelli . . .

were these tires typically 27", 650b, or 700c? does this style have a name?

i have a set of the grand bois hetre red tread tires from jan; i am looking for an older pair similar to the ones shown in the photo. if anybody has a pair for sale or trade, or has a lead, please let me know.

i think i saw mike schmidt walking around the cirque with a pair of them . . .

thanks, dan polito
