Same here. In my experience, Continentals run small (e.g. 25-26mm on a 700Cx28 callout) and Specialized run large (e.g. almost 30mm on the same callout size). I can put Conti 700Cx28 on the Bianchi, but not Specialized.

Even more frustrating is bead diameter vs. rim diameter. There is no way I can get a 700Cx28 Michelin folder on a Campag. Omega rim. Contis are a tight fit, but they do work.
