Both pair (two bikes' worth): $70

These have been hanging over my packing table for many years, another of my "someday I should sell that/those/this" things. When they were in production they were one of the few decent 650b tires available, and they were handy for converting tight 700c racy frames to 650b. When Michelin stopped making them, the Confrérie des 650 went to Hutchinson. They're not ultralight, at around 375g each, and they run a little narrow, so you'll likely not see 32mm unless you're using a modern, wider rim.

They are pretty rare these days, though there are more 650b tire choices around in 28-32mm, and the hottest 650b action is definitely not in tires this narrow. I couldn't find anybody trying to sell any of these in the past 10yrs, so my pricing is kind of a shot in the dark. If they're worth a lot more due to rarity, so be it, somebody else can buy 'em at this price and flip 'em. If I'm way out of line, 'cause who would even want these, then I suppose they won't sell.

I'm quite the marketer, ain't I?

The unridden pair I'm pretty certain are unridden, and look like they've never been installed. One of the ridden tires is cleaner than the other ridden tire, with little tread wear. The other ridden tire has a little more tread wear, and it also has a shallow cut in the tread, which does not go through the casing. So I'm pricing that pair significantly lower.

I did have a thought that, even if you didn't want to ride these, might be worth having some for on-the-road spares, since they'll take up a lot less room than 38mm+ tires, and cost a lot less than Grand Bois/Rene Herse.
