Yes, the Gios dropouts are as far forward as they will go, trying to keep the wheelbase nice and short! Could maybe get 25s in but I don’t think any bigger. I don’t mind though, 23 is fine for me, I’m not very heavy and I mostly ride it in town on decent roads.
Thanks for the comments, I do like a tan wall but I also think they are maybe slightly overdone at this point. In my head, tan walls work with either all black or all silver rims - I don’t really like them on black wheels with silver braking surface.
I am a bit behind on posting pictures of my recent builds - In the summer I did a Panasonic track bike with all silver wheels and other components which looks amazing with tan wall tyres. Will have a bit of time over Xmas so will update this thread!
