Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Anyone riding a Secteur Disc with fatter tires?

Had never seen this bike before, and noticed it today when going to look at an AWOL.

Looks like the Secteur Sport and Expert Disc models have a lot of spare room in there to put in fatter rubber. Curious if anyone has done so. I think stock is 700x28.

2013's will fit a 32c specialized trigger tire well. 14's seem to be limited to 30 due to frame changes

The one I saw in the store must have been a '13. Looked like it had lots of spare room, but I spent most of my time looking at an AWOL so I only casually looked at the Secteur. Just struck me as an interesting candidate for a fairly efficient Katy Trail bike if I could stuff some fatter tires in there. Something like an AWOL or Salsa Vaya still probably a better choice.
