okay, it does look kind of hoaky(sp?)... but who cares, I like them.

those are new wheels too this year... Kysrium Mavic ES's.... with Continental Grand Prix 4000 tires....:D:D:D My boyfriend made me do all this upgrading...:rolleyes:, but it's fun, and now hopefully I'll be able to keep up with him, yeah right, LOL!!!!

Ooooooh, I LIKE those! I want them on my red bike! Why oh why didn't I know about these befopre I went out and bought plain BLACK Conti GP 4000 tires...

(because the bike store would never ever have stocked them even they knew they existed. but still...)

Very nice! :)

I think it looks awesome! (and fast, too!)

My first road bike (a Fuji) had red tires. Admittedly, it's one of the reasons I bought the bike (boy, did I learn about fit the hard way!!) :o. But man, it looked nice with the red bar tape...

just as an FYI... Performance doesn't carry red ones, but WorldCycling does... and for a cheaper price too:D

yeah my boyfriend wants to put silver bar tape on my bike, but I said no. He's my mechanic... I have to keep him away from my bike at times, LOL!!!:eek:

Those tires are slick! I also agree that you should not let your boyfriend put silver tape on it.

I love the scheme of your bike and the set up..don't change a thing..I think the silver handlebar tape would take away from the sharpness of your bike..but that is just my opinion..please feel free to do as you choose..shelly

I think the handlebar tape should be red to match tires and hubs.

aren't ksyriums boot-ee-full. Easily said now that I have them too:D:D:D

LOVE IT!! I think red bar tape would look great!! It can really make your bike look completely different to change the black. I tricked out my Cannondale with blue tape, blue tires and blue bottle cages to play on the blue in the frame so you can see what I like.

I think those red tires look great!

I am also impressed that your front wheel has a useful electrical outlet! So convenient for touring! ;) ;)

Looks cool to me!

Then again, I have a yellow and black Cervelo... with yellow and black tires on it.

I just put red Conti GP4000's on my bike to go with my red bar tape. Great minds think alike.

Red and black are power colors and you have the perfect balance right there. Don't change a thing.

Sexy, indeed!

Boy, if red is hokey my orange tires and tape must be really weird. :p

I think it looks great.

Those red tires look great. I fact they look like the bike should have come with them.

I LOVE your red/black/silver combo -- the red tires are awesome!

Why oh why can't I get PURPLE tires!?! They would be so beautiful on my Dolce:(:rolleyes::( (And why didn't specialized put more purple on the bike anyway???) Oops, I guess that's getting a little off track....

Anyway - your bike looks fabulous - enjoy!

Wait -- do they not make purple anymore? I used to have a purple tire on the back of my purple/teal shade-shifter Terry Isis (back only, since it had a 24" front wheel, and tires for those only came in black). Seems like it was a Michelin.

Oh dang...just looked it up, and it appears that the purple color has indeed been discontinued. Bummer! Sorry.... :(
