John, The Thunder Burts on there are labeled 2.1. When I was looking at bikes at Riv and talking with Roman about his, I'm pretty sure he had Continental 2.3s on his. These bikes were made with Appaloosa forks and he said they try to match chainstay clearance to fork clearance when they

I'll add an endorsement, I have one out of the first batch and it's a great and versatile bike. Because of the wide range of people it will fit, it can be used for guests as well. Most bikes won't be quite as flexible in regards to sizes of riders it will fit. Ray Vallejo CA -- You
