Mike & others -
Thanks for the replies & suggestions. For those interested there are at
least two possibilities (and probably a few more) that may work for this
purpose. As Mike notes the Panaracer Fire Cross K is a 700 X 45C tire with
pretty good tread and can be found at Universal Cycles. I also found an IRC
Mythos CX Slick in 700 X 42C at The Bike Gallery in Beaverton (it's more
like a dry conditions cross tire, not a true slick) and also online at
icyclesusa.com. Now to measure my frame to see what will actually fit.
Thanks Again
JD
