Hi All, just rode into Marina Ca from Truro, Nova Scotia Canada yesterday, I am in need of a rear tire , michelin road 3 and was hoping to find the best place (economical) to get one. I plan to ride this week in the area, will do the rides Brianf posted. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Pat hope I posted in the correct place.

Oh one more thing I hit a block of wood around Salinas, just checked and I broke the front rim! lucky, where can I buy a used one. Thanks. Pat
