There are Conti Gatorskins knocking about on ebay at the moment - in the flesh these have a dark brown wall and look quite nice on, although it'snot posible to mistake them for a classic tyre. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Continental-Ultra ... 27b847ed59

The Michelin Dynamics I got for mine were only about £7.99 each and they seem to be screwed together reasonably well. They do them right down to a 700x20c as well.

I use Veloflex Pave's. Admittedly they don't get alot use so I can't vouch for their longevity but they certainly look the part. PBK usually have them at good prices.
But I've just ordered a pair of 27"x11/8" (28-630) Pasela Tour Guard Compes from SJS. Primarily because they're quoted as being 90g (each) lighter than the 11/4" Pasela.
Not tanwall, but I like Contis, which still look good. I caution against older Turbos. I have have three self destruct (the tire peeled away from the casing) after about 5km each.
