Gads! I remember when 2.25" was the standard "fat" tire mountain bike dimension. The current obsession with super fat balloon tires is getting absurd! My current gravel grinder BG Rock'n'Road is made for 45s (about 1.8").
Here I am at "Fat" Tire Bike Week at Crested Butte CO in 1989. I think those are 2.0s...
