Cheers. Your 853 equilibrium sale thread catalysed the thought process that has lead us here. I expect it to clear 700x42 slicks, haven’t tested this yet but put a half inflated 38 in and there looked plenty room. Personally I reckon 700 x 38-42 is perfect for general road riding/touring/gravé.

Haven't personally done the N=1 plunge but feel like I'm almost there. A while ago I stopped wanting really wide tyres and agree, never really felt I need wider than 38 width tyres. Looks like Bob Jackson did a great job as you'd expect.

Agreed this looks great, really looking forward to the result. What's the tyre clearance on the frame? Feel free to start a project thread ;)
