it's what i've always done, 700c x 23 at full pressure just feels faster and more efficient, i've never been a fan of squidgy tyres, even riding my aluminium cannondale caad4 track and cannondale caad3 road bike which are about as rigid a frame as you can get, i've never felt overly battered from the ride, sure you get a bit of vibration through to the bars but that doesn't happen all the time. roads are mostly smooth and the lumpy bits are less common
i know there's been a movement towards more supple tyres for a nicer ride in recent times i just don't find it an issue to be honest and we are trying to prevent punctures !
