Clincher tyre slicks 700 x 23mm

Hi.

Im after a pair of racing tyre slicks

I know Conti Gatorskins and all Contis are fantastic though Im after something different

Im looking for something a bit retro like the Vittoria's though the price is a bit high for my pocket. Puncture resistance aint what Im looking for either. Im after performance, weight, and something fast n cheap. Something in the price range of £35 a pair

Thanks

A few places are selling Michelin Pro 3 Race for £21-22 at the moment - still a great tyre.

Vittoria Rubino Pro (£18.41 at Ribble) or Diamante Pro - good tyres but not quite the classy good looks of the Corsa CXs.

Classy good looks?

I saw a pair of these on a bike on Sunday:

You can't have all four,or you'd have to pay a bit more than that.

There's the Veloflex Master 22 (used to called Pave) which looks correct (except for that ugly logo), about £35 each,

These are extremely delicate tyres.
