Duly noted, we're connoisseur of high tpi sidewalls . The LBS we work with is a C'Dale shop, and very familiar with the vintage stuff. They thought we might be able to stuff 28's in there, they're willing to see what will fit when we get to that point. Just thought we'd check with the C&V folks to get a feeling for the forks before we started fitting the parts together....thanks.
