Gum wall tyres

[Donie75]

Hi, I'm looking to finish by 80's Legnano restoration and I need some 27 x 1 1/4 tyres. I'd like gum wall retro look tyres but the only ones I can see are Michelin World Tour tyres but these seem a bit knobbly like hybrid tyres. Can anyone recommend something a little slicker at a decent price?

I'm also looking for some 80's flat pedals. Anyone know of a retro looking basic pedal available online?

Have a look at Kenda tyres. They do some slicker gum walls.

Hi,

I could be totally wrong (not unusual) but i think i have seen Gatorskins in that size with tan walls.

I've got those for my Claud, but they don't have tan walls.

My memory may be playing tricks on me! I have a pair in my attic and i THOUGHT they may have had tan walls. I am not at home now so i cannot check.

Mine are 1000 miles away so I can't check either. They have choco brown walls from what my addled brain can recall.

I had a brain wave -



more brown than tan?
