700c Challenge Grifo XS 33mm - very comfortable and versatile tire. I find that at my weight (150lbs.) I have to keep about 60 pounds of air pressure in them to avoid pinch flats in very rocky terrain. On a good gravel road I can drop them to 50, but very few of my rides are less than 50% pavement so I tend to keep them between 60 and 80 psi.
I'm too lazy to air up and air down in the middle of a ride.

Great looking bike. Le Champ? What year? Was it originally spaced at 120 or 126 in the rear? Any issues getting a modern cassette/wheel in there?
