My apologies for reviving a thread that's a couple of months old.
Tom - I'm curious if you are using these on your Bianchi Volpe and, if so, what size? I need to replace the tires that came on my Volpe pretty soon and was looking at the Vittoria Voyager Hyper. The bike came with 28mm Randonneurs, which have been been pretty good, but I'd like to bump up to larger tire, a 35mm if possible or 32 if not.
