Or does "Schwalbe" sound like something one would find on a department
store "English Racer" (casual upright) type bicycle? (I'm taling about the NAME, you understand. I've heard the tires are actually a very good quality) - - Compliments of: "Your Friendly Neighborhood Wheelman" If you want to E-mail me use: ChrisZCorner "at" webtv "dot" net My website: http://geocities.com/czcorner |

What country does this tire bring to mind? http://www.danscomp.com/444120.php -- Tom Sherman - 42.435731,-83.985007 LOCAL CACTUS EATS CYCLIST - datakoll |

"Schwalbe" is German for "swallow" (the bird, not the verb). No, not a
name that belongs with cheap bikes. I must say, though, their best touring tires are awful damn heavy for a product that's named after a bird. mark It's Chris wrote: Or does "Schwalbe" sound like something one would find on a department store "English Racer" (casual upright) type bicycle?
