I have been toying with the idea of tubular for my Ritchey P650b more out of fun and being different. Something about a more classic looking frame with gum walls seem like a lot of fun. I also got my first tubular CX wheel set and I have liked the feel. Are there any company's that make 27.5 Tubular rims. I live in the US and BOR will not ship here (from what I can tell). Any information on tufos 27.5 tubular stuff? Other ideas would be welcome. I already have a light clincher setup.
