Most of my road bikes seem to run out of clearance first under the brake stay, then against the seat tube. I think that's because 25mm is not much wider than 23mm, but depending on the tire brand, it can be a lot taller. Then again, 25mm Specialized Armadillos measure 28mm inflated to 100 psi. Is that an SMP Selle saddle?
I snapped a couple of pics before I ran out the door, hoping these might help. The shot of the front shows a gap just large enough to slide a 4mm allen key into. The rear is perhaps twice that roomy to the chain stays, and up to the brake bridge as well.
Yes, I believe the fork steerer is alu, but I had a shop build mine, so I haven't looked at it myself. My seat is an SMP Dynamic, yes.
