...the best I can do on this one is 28's, which make it bearable for me but still too harsh for at least one of my friends who test rode it. I think maybe we were all just younger and more durable when these were made. I don't know how people toured on them, but apparently they did. For me, I feel it more in the saddle end than the bar thanks to the steel fork on this one.
