The Grand Bois, Cypres, Cerf, Pacenti, Col d Vie, all Rivendell tires, and Pasalas are all made by Panaracer, AKA National Tire Co of Japan. As for price -- I cringe when I buy the Grand Bois, Cerf -- $60/tire is hard to spend. But the difference in ride that they make is well worth it to me. Remember also, as Pacenti's email illustrates, these are small runs. So the cost is high. I just bought some Quasi-Motos with the same cringe.
