WTD: tubular tyres (possible swap)

In order to get a bike together for another RBer I need a pair of tubs. They need to be in good condition and ideally retro-tastic amberwalls. Make is not really important.

The original Vittoria tubs are slightly perished and the rear is cracked, but the biggest issue is that the base tapes have separated. It's not really worth sending them in for replacement tapes, so I figured I'd simply swap on the tubs I had coming on a wheelset for another build.

Trouble is, I didn't really bank on those tubs having a bright orange casing! They're not really retro-looking and don't suit that build really, so I'm looking again. I'll need to confirm what model these tubs actually are, and will post details and pics later.

The orange tubs I have would look great on a Rabobank or Eustakel type build, and probably any number of late 90s/early 00s. I'd prefer a swap deal, but I'd also be happy to buy a more sombre pair.

Cheers, Gareth.
