23mm is pretty small for everyday riding, decent 28c would be fine, the only difference in performance is a more comfortable ride due to a lowered tyres pressure.

I have to ask, why does the low bottom bracket affect you? were you using massive pedals or something?

I`ve experienced a few pedal strikes lately when I raced around town. I am using Fyxation Mesa pedals (platform) but as I am pretty tall my shoes cover them all and would have struck anyway.
