Would like to try this out. Anyone got one?

Hi all, Lightly used pair of these 50mm gravel tyres. Ridden <50K and were never punctured. Looking for a similar but narrower tyre, ideally 700x45c. EDIT: Will include the 2 inner tubes that were fitted with the tyres (Vavert presta 29 x 1.75-2.25). £22 posted, £18 for collection from East London, ...

Yep, another noob question. It's going to be my only bike. I plan to use it for my daily commute (~5km) and general ci...
