In fact, in this case, it's just more recyclable aluminum.
Trust me, it's a 700C. I have a pair of these on my 1973 Raleigh Competition, of which I recently de-laced the front rim so I could swap the hub onto my '82 Superior (and re-build that rim at a later date - and I still haven't). Doing so reminded me just how difficult it is to remove - or install - the Specialized Mondo tires. Mind you, the Mondos would virtually slip on and off my set of FSA RD-80's.
Let me know when you're sick of busting tire levers. I'll be glad to put up with them. Contrary to popular belief, I do have a set of metal tire levers alongside my Pedros - just in case a pair of these Ambrosios find their way into my shop.
