Hey all,
I've got an orange bike, and thought it'd be cool to get some orange tires for it. Its a commuter, so it'd be nice if they were fairly durable. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it!

Conti makes orange tires (the GP3000 and now the 4000) at least. You can also find Vredestein tricomps in orange (nice tires) if you look around.

A lightspeed and a Pinarello? I'm going to take my humble Motobecane single speed and slink home now.... ;) Nice!
BTW - do those tires in the background have reflective sidewalls? Thats pretty cool - could you post a pic of those?

Hi there:
Here are a few orange tires...
Yes - my wife does refer to me as "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" when I head out the door on these!

La Bicicletta sells them by the bulk and individually. They're old Michelin Axial Bi-Sport 700x20 tires.

Cyclefiend2000:
The orange handlebar tape is Pinarello bar tape - I got it from a local Pinarello dealer.

thanks EasyRider47. i used to be able to get cinelli bar tape in orange but not lately. deda used to make some but not anymore (i dont think). i will definitely see if i can find some of the pinarello tape in orange.
