I am planning to get a new bike in the New Year.
I have all but decided upon the Dolan L'Etape 22 speed Rival.

I wanted Sram gearing and this Carbon framed bike comes in at a very attractive £999. Like the black frame with the yellow/white detailing. Will go for Yellow bar tape.
I am planning on upgrading the wheels to some handbuilt Archtype H Son (in black).

So to complete the bling effect i would love some tyres with Yellow trim.
I was all set on getting the Conti 4000 Grand Prix s II ( i use these on my current summer bike) which have a very nice variety with yellow sidewall trim.

But i can only find this in 700 x 23c (apart form the all black version)and would really like to stick to 700 x 25c that i currently use. Can you get the 4000 GP S II in 25c in yellow?
If not are the any yellow trim tyres others people would recommend that compare with the 4000 GP S II in terms of rolling resistence and puncture protection.
Its all very sad i know but i had kinda got my heart set on some bling tyres to match the bike!
