I had a similar conundrum to you this week, wanted some nicer riding, comfier potentially larger tyres for my everyday wheelset. Glad I went with 25s in the end (though 27s would have fit) which feel both quick and comfy and should leave room for guards come winter
Thanks, yep super tight. Not sure I need the hassle /risk.
For this beauty, think the Reynolds is a no brainer. Price and style. The yellow accents are perfect.
Also, stem maybe shiny, but the rims are too, which holds it all together...
