I already have a road bike, and it doesn't make sense to try to make this one too. I figure I'll get in better shape pulling my son with these tires and get it's versatility back.
I put 25's on my Jamis Allegro 1's and after a week of rides, swaped them out for 28's, which seem almost as quick but do a LOT better job of absorbing road imperfections, jmho. I still have the 32's that came stock with my Jamis Coda, they work well with "tugging a trailer" and handle the "hard pack dirt" of some of the rail trails portions here in Colorado Springs better. So what you did make total sense to me, ENJOY!!
