I've been putting miles on my Columbus Max Nikor with Campag 10 speed, and have to say I'm a total convert to this wide rims and tyres trend, if you can squeeze them in your old frame. The fit of the 28c tyres in the rear is so snug the rear wheel won't fit in the dropouts with the wheel inflated. I must remember that when I puncture, which has not happened yet, I really rate the new Veloflex Corsa Evo tyres, much longer lasting than the previous Veloflex Masters I tried.
It glides over the shittest roads at speed like nothing else I've ridden, and is still putting a smile on my face every ride, even this mornings pissing rain and gale force winds.
I've been waiting months for a black Cinelli Volare saddle from Spain I got off eBay, but it didn't arrive and I've just been refunded, so am on the lookout for one of those, but that's the only thing I'm going to change.
