While trying to purchase a set of the adapters I found, and the ones Tank found, it seems both have been discontinued. I did find them listed on another website, pardon my spelling, but I think you will get the idea....www.starfoockers.shop-pro.ip/?pid=37683292. But I don't know enough Japanese to say how much they are. The website states 5260 yen?????

At that price I may end up making something like this...

Manuel is also rocking Paul-Neo Retros ($100)Canti's. You would need to find a old school design that sticks out like that. DiaCompe has old or new ones.
 
how about these?

still need a not-too-expensive source of the clamp-on canti posts.

I just put some 26x3.5 Sunlite Crushers on...those combined with the 20t rear cog and lean back seat post makes for a really smooth ride on pavement. It actually moves along quite a bit better than I thought it would, that also has a lot to do with the smaller overall diameter of the Crushers as well.
 
I like the Sunlite Crushers, just not sure I'm 'feeling' the thin whitewall. I think if it came in blackwall or a wide whitewall, I'd be more on board.....but then again.... I'm not sure I want to drop $100 for tires on my 'cheap' Walgoose ( for now anyway :) )

Good on ya though dude, hope you ride the tread off them! :D

Cheers,

I was on the fence with the thin white walls but they look great in person. It's sort of a vintage plus sporty blend if that makes any sense. I found them online for $33 a piece plus $6.75 shipping for the two. I know that still isn't exactly cheap, but it's better than $50 a piece. I tell you what though, when you pull the stock tires off you feel like you're working at a Pep Boys or something...haha

I've actually always liked thin white walls so the Sunlite tires worked out great for me. :D

It was quite a contrast when I held a stock tire in one hand and a Sunlite tire in the other.

What's funny is that I set the stock tires over in the corner of the garage and I keep seeing them thinking...why are those car tires over there? :lol:

A second later I remember they aren't car tires at all.
