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....My boyfriend made me do all this upgrading...
, 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!

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

"Hokey" and nope, looks pretty sex-ay to me
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

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!!)
. But man, it looked nice with the red bar tape...

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!!! Originally Posted by GLC1968

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
