I like the 38s a lot. I don't have caliper to measure but didn't have an issue on the rims. You can't go much wider with the tires though and the frame. On the bars, with the mustache I would definitely go short stem. I think so much depends on body type am not sure I could say how it changes t

Don't want to thread hijack but I was wondering how those tires felt on the narrow mavic rims? do they measure close to 38? I have older open pros and I am considering those tires, I think the rim width is similar. On Friday, September 17, 2021 at 4:52:12 PM UTC-7 Jonathan D. wrote: > [image:

Bumping. $1300. Also selling a Black Mountain Cycles 53 cm and Soma Grand Randonneur 59cm. Let me know if you are interested. Not Rivendell bikes but some commonalities. I live in Portland and would love to sell locally. https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0Z55Z2WMId7r8 On Friday, Septembe
