Up for sale is a pair of used Force Field Fatty Rumpkin tires.  650B x 41.  I was holding onto these for a 52 Clem next summer, but now I'm thinking 55 Joe Appaloosa.  They are wire bead, so I strongly prefer to sell local in the bay area.  These were on my Bombadil, which got moved to fund a contemporary mountain bike.  I'm thinking 200-300 miles on them.

$60 free pickup
$72 shipped anywhere else

The black city bike bomba? I loved that build!

I just picked up a pair (these were the folders) from the list and I am really happy with them. You can run them at cushy pressures but they still feel trustworthy as you ride over anything. The tread pattern is great too.

Mine was orange, and was a drop bar touring/camping build:

Sadly you have to wait until 3:47 for the full side view.

I think I sent you a private message.  If you didn't get it, can you please reply to me off list so I can.  Apparently I'm a little challenged today.

I just attempted to send you a PM as well.  Let's see if that delivers....

Of course this worked.  It's just me.......  Long day & once I get messed up in a posting, it never seems to go right.  I really wanted to post off-list and was worried it wasn't off-list. 
I just responded to your first message but wanted to confirm to you that I got this.  Again, just me.

Bump.  KC came by and instead of buying my Force Field Fatty Rumpkins, she bought my 650B Rock and Roads.  So, the Force Field Fatty Rumpkins are still available.  Also available are some more 650B tires:

1.  Force Field Fatty Rumpkin 650b X 41.  $60 for a pair.  
2.  Pacenti Quasi Moto 650b x 2.0 (~50mm).  All black.  Folding.  Slightly used.  $60 for a pair.  
3.  Panaracer col de la Vie Randonneur.  650b x ~ 35.  Wire bead.  Barely used.  $25 for a pair. 
4.  Soma New Express 650B x 38  Belted, folding.  Quite used. $30 for a pair
5.  Compass Ourson.  650B x 34.  New in Package.  Jan did an experiment, trying to improve the col de la vie by putting that tread on a nice casing.  They concluded that the experiment failed, that the tread was too squirmy.  Still, these make a nice gravel tire, IMO.  $50 for a pair.  

Free local pickup/delivery vigorously preferred, in El Cerrito CA.  Shipping via USPS Priority Mail $12 anywhere in the US.
