  • The clement tyres are rather voluminous...
    Pass me the rizla

  • Soo... I’ve bought the one from the classifieds - looks like it’ll take 23c max but I’m going to try for 25c anyway - what did you end up with on yours? 28c Clement Strada was too snug...

  • Wicked - glad it was you that got it, I'm sure you'll do a good job of it.

    I think your frame's identical to mine, probably a year older (threaded steerer) but you'll be impressed with the build quality and smooth ride.

    I'm running narrow rims (15mm internal) so the issue with 28mm Strada was a clash with the underside of the fork crown. (quite close on the rear brake bridge but running freely)
    If you're runing wider rims or less bulbous tyres you might be ok, I've ridden smaller 28s (rubinos) without any issue but right now I'm running 25mm Contis which are absolutely fine.

  • When you've got it built and things are lest restricted how about a forum cream De Rosa ride in the surrey hills -
    I suspect the take-up will be limited as it's quite niche
