I've had one Lenton Clubman (49?) which was a 'rescue bike' from a courier shop, all decked out with modern fixie crap. It actually rode great with 700c wheels but I stripped it down to the frame. I never did the restoration on it and recently sold it to a forum member who will hopefully do better than I. I also had a complete Lenton Sports from 48 which was essentially the same bike. It was stable and fun but sometimes a bike is as only as good as it's wheelset and quality EA1 tires are getting very hard to find. I'd certainly consider putting 700's on one if I didn't have EA1 wheels and rubber. But I do...
