Tan skin amber gum wall tyres?

[Teus]

I've just ordered a pair of the VITTORIA DUELL 26X2,125. You're right, they are a good price, even with postage to the UK.

Mine arrived a couple of days ago from him, they look sweet!!

Did they take long to come? It'll be a week tomorrow since I ordered them.

I think it was about week before they were dispatched. All in took about 2 weeks to come.

This nice chap still has a few pairs - I got myself a pair the other week - smart. One pair of Taiga left from the same seller https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253177968216?hash=item3af2953658:g:SrYAAOSwpbRZ4b~S

...is the price per pair can you recall? The listing suggests he is selling as pairs - not singles.

The type I bought, the Duell, were as a pair. A bargain! Slippery like eels though and a sod to get on. (As an aside I LOVE my Cyclepal tyre tool - makes mincemeat of getting tight-beaded tyres on).
Google translate his listing if in Italian. I did try to get a pair of Mantas which he unhelpfully listed as singles and tried get him to do combined postage but it never worked out and I gave up but the pair I got (I ended up getting a 2nd pair) came quickly without drama.

Thanks for the reply. Slippery how, to fit or to ride on??

To fit - some else described them as like wrestling an eel - which is exactly what I found! The sidewalls seem slippery in the hand - probably releasing agent. Not ridden them yet as my Explosif needs restoring first but Vittoria do good tyres - at the price I couldn't miss them.
