Why worry about size? I've got 32's on one of my bikes and they are as fast as my 23's. Maybe just get a better 32. Look at Compass Bicycle and get a pair of the Grand Bois Cyprus 32's. Very comfortable tires and very fast. As light as most 23's. I hardly ride my Orbea because the Soma is just as quick and MUCH more comfortable to ride.
