people do it fixed, and old dudes do it on old bikes but the ones who do the full amount on old bikes are ex pro team riders from the 60's and 70's so seriously fit.... if you don't mind walking up some of the climbs you could do it on anything if you are committed so i shouldn't worry too much
and yes, at registration you can change your route - i was down for the 135 last year and did the 38km ( the woman did mock me though)
as for tyres i'm going with 32 paselas if they'll fit. matt - go with the triple - you'll appreciate the granny even if you only use it once on the montelcino climb... i can't wait!!
