(also, you sure 25mm tires weren't rubbing somewhere? Not exactly de rigueur in the 70's...)
No, it wasn't that. I'm using fenders -- plain aluminum, just the thing for a vintage chrome bike -- and when I tried 28mm, THEY definitely rubbed. But not 25s.
(Which means I have a nice set of never-used 28mm Gatorskins.)
Yeah, I was trying everything. I was desperate. I knew it had to be something.
