Just an aside: it's funny that here 38-40 mm tires are on the narrow end of the spectrum. My Atlantis came with 35 mm Paselas, and I recall reading somewhere that the bike was designed for tires in the 35-50 mm range. Since then, 38-40 feels like the optimal size and looks perfectly normal. While I'm not aware of the referenced article, a lot depends on what tires are being compared, not only their size. If the Hunq rider replaced say a 50 mm Schwalbe Marathon Plus with a 38 mm Soma C-line or one of the Compass tires, the difference would be huge in both comfort and general zippiness.
