Gum-wall dilemma....

Devout Dirtbag
I want to place some gum walls tyres on my olds gillot retro/modern build. (27" 1/4 tryes)


Just think they will look much better.
My memory isn't what it used to be. But if I recall the gumwalling was originally part of the canvas side wall to the tyre assembly.

Most (if not all I see) for sale appear to be painted sidewalls. Of varying degrees of orange. Some with a grotesque orange that you seem to see people coming out of tan shops wearing!! <bleurgh>

I don't suppose there are any gumwall groupies out there that might offer a suggestion on the most appropiate gumwall tyre?

I recently bought some Panaracers, nice & pale also they do a 27" x 1" which fit my 50's Dunlop special lightweights 1-1/4 very well, link here;Panaracer Pasela
