Speaking of the "P word," I've got a pair of used but still good (but see below) TGs 32s that I want to get rid of; cash -- make offer; trades: reading stuff; rear blinkies; front blinkies or small AAA (note: "triple A" and not AA) headlights; tubes for 622X60 mm tires (presta); ditto for 622X35 (28s fit fine); blah blah blah.
** One PTG has a slight casing defect that has been booted: the spot is about 5mm square. The present, fabric boot does not quite prevent a small bulge, but a stiffer or thicker boot would do that. OTOH, the deal includes 1 new, folding Michelin Axial Sport that looks very similar to the Paselas in tread and sidewall and, again, is new and is folding. Also can toss in 2 well used Spec Turbo 559X23 mms for your 56 cm or smaller Atlantis. (Juuuuust kidding.) Patrick Moore, who just ordered a pair of 622X35 Kojaks for his Fargo in ABQ, NM.
