Yeah, that's them.

I thought they were listed at closer to €45 each? €60 each is a little bit steep, but I heard that the entire run was pre-sold even before they reached shops, so I guess the price isn't too extreme.

If they only make one run, these are sure to become more expensive on the 'Bay...

...Maybe I should call into all the local Fahrradhandel & see if they have any?

Sorry - What I meant was I heard that this whole batch of tires was already allocated to shops by pre-orders before they became available. So there are no more sitting around for other shops to request.

There are probably lots out there - I you can find them. Shops that have some are obviously starting to post them on Ebay, due to the surprising level of interest and the hassle of locating them locally.

Depends what "local" means.
I think I saw them listed (somewhere?) for 60 Great English Pounds; The German Ebay seller is asking 60 Euros tops. Compare that to the standard Evos, which cost from €32.

But the European online stores that I browsed only list the black version, but not white. So finding some might not be so easy.

Good luck!

They look nasty. Why so expensive? Why has the world gone mad on these?
