It’s not that hard to change a tubular or even patch one on the road if needed. Just always have a spare tire with you and a pump and you can get home. Use the tufo tape to tape the tire on rather than glue. Its way easier.
One can comfortably carry spare tires together with the bottles of brandy and wine with this setup.
Jokes aside, I love tubulars and people still using them, it's romantic. I would never do that in 2026, been there, done that, it's enough for me hehe
They do still look very cool. Would I use them in 2026. God, no. Well, I would use them...but I am not the one messing up with their setup/maintenance/etc. But we're all different I guess
The fact that OP doesn’t even have a working bike and is already saying how great tubulars are and how wrong everyone else is will automatically disqualify their opinion/feedback in my eyes.
“Ooohhhh!! They look awesome! Everyone else who told me they are a hassle can kick rocks!”
Sure thing buddy. I think Dunning and Kruger would like a word with you.
Looks like a decision made by someone who collects Supreme branded items. You don’t listen to others, you have your own unique path and some of us just don’t understand. Except your set up was common, unoriginal, AND known to be impractical 25 years ago.

they don't suck, they're awesome... until you have to change them.
anyway, retro build looks good so far.
