Meet Scar

[zoom-zoom]

Wow, too bad they don't do something reflective like that for road tires. That is pretty nifty!

I like Scar. He has character.

YOu can get the sweetskinz in 700x37c. But that's a bit fat for road

Ooh, would that work on a cyclocross bike? My next ride will likely be a 'cross bike (for a few races and so that I can ride a bit on unpaved roads and poorly maintained paved ones).

[Biciclista]

how cool are these tires? I love them!
so first they made tiny skinny tires in colors, now they're doing MTB tires in colors.
Someday maybe they'll get to those of us on slightly fatter road bike tires....

They would - I have no idea how good they actually are for cyclocross racing conditions though (gripping the trail, etc.)

Scar is the Bad Bad LeRoy Brown of bikes. A bad azz. If you wanted to give him to me, I'd take him (I don't steal).

I'll keep you in mind when he needs a new home! He's a wanderer, possibly doesn't like staying in one spot too long.

Yeah, I was thinking...28s or 32s would be da bomb for my new commuter (I'm accessorizing in blue)...but 37s would be too fat.


I take Catriona in Round 2.

Love him! Tires and all. Is the yellow thing on the handlebars a headlight? It looks like a toy alien.

I think it's a bell. It looks like a tea pot.

[Tri Girl]

I'd steal your bike just for those tires. (you probably think I'm kidding- you better lock him up tight)

I *LOVE* Scar! He's a bada*s. I'm going to have to look at those tires. I love the reflectivity. Very cool!

It's a teapot bell. I was on dealextreme.com looking to see if they had a tripod mount for handlebars and saw the teapot bells...

Scar also has LED lights that will be installed on his wheels that flash in various patterns, but I haven't tried that yet.

I will have to commute at night just to be able to see that.

You're gonna have to race her in next year's alley cat

oooh, I can SEE that - as others have said, Scar is one bad azz bike! I've seen those LED lights online that can be programmed to flash in different designs and so forth - seeing him coming at you at night with those tires and flashy lights on the wheels... Hmmm, especially on darker streets I can see someone who has had a bit too much to drink thinking that the aliens have finally landed

Yeah - more sizes in those tires would be great.

Scar fights dirty unlike your elegant and civilized Sevens.
