Eh, that's the situation I have with my Riv Custom now. I put some 175s back on there with the 6503 44/28 conversion and I'm scraping in many places where I got by with 170s before, on my favorite paved trail near my house. Running thin gripsters with kneesavers.
I feel more efficient with the 175s, that's the rub. I ran 180s before the conversion. I feel like I'm going faster and more easily with the same effort. Hey, it planes more easily, what can I say ;) Maybe the 3mm difference in BB drop would be enough to make a difference in clearance with 175s, I assume my older custom has 80 but I've never bothered to measure. I would be ok with 700c but I want at least 38mm with fenders. I would like to own this Redwood but I'm not thinking there's enough differentiation between it and what I already have. Well I'll mull it over, maybe someone else will beat me to the punch anyway. It's certainly a great deal.
