WizardofBoz-
Yes, both C 37s are 700C with a set of tubular wheels just being readied for the white Carre/Bertin C 37. The Paselas would be for a possible non-Bertin purchase. Different wheel/tires on front and back were previously common. A lot of British bikes would run 32 spoke front wheels and 40 spoke rear with slightly different tires to address the differences in weight distribution between the front and the back. This was especially so considering the British habit of touring with large, loaded seat bags on the rear of the bike.
