A good crosser it looks to be. Those are some wide tires(and heavy) you got there.

Thanks, yeah I ride on some pretty rocky single track. I'm looking for a pair of lighter road tires for century rides and such. Any suggestions?

Michelin Dynamic Sports.Don't let the low price fool you. Converted my old Romani off tubulars(new rims,spokes,tubes ect) so had to go lo buck on tires. These were on sale $11 each. They ride about 90% of the tubsand have bees flat free for almost 900 miles street and light dirt. Enjoy.
