But, toward the end of my test ride, I decided that the 'comfort' of the Domane with its 23mm tires wasn't all that different than my Pinarello after I switched it to 25mm tires. I've since gone 25mm on all my bikes, and they all ride sweet. I was offered the Domane at about a 20% discount, which is surprising as it is the first year they are being sold. Wasn't from stock either; it would be a factory order. Had to think long and hard that weekend about the decision to purchase a Domane.
But how well would the Domane have rode if it had 25 mm size tires
