Bought this 8-spoke rim approx. 4 years ago. Previous owner had cleaned it up and had it professionally powder coated. It has never been on my bike. So for the up-coming Summit (2012) I thought what better time than the meet to mount it up (with a new Mich. PP).

Mark i think you should put a bike lock just on the tire./... You are going to be having all us sitting in the parking lot drooling over this.
PS. Does Michelin paint the name yellow on some PP tires? or did you do it yourself?
I (my wife) painted the letters using a paint pen (see link below). The paint pens I used before (sold by Harley Davidson) stayed on the tire 5-6000 miles, but they are no longer available. Found these and they look the same.
For a minute there I thought you were offering up an 8 spoke for the SumSum prize pool! That would have been fabulous.
Of course, just seeing it on your bike will be swell too. Ya . . . . swell.
