This is also my tire of choice on three of my C&V bikes. My '71 PX10, '72 Paramount and my '85-ish De Rosa Professional all wear this tire. Other tires are more durable but none have the combination of grip, silky ride quality and minimal rolling resistance along with the very authentic blonde cotton sidewall of the Corsa. I'm using the 700x23 on the De Rosa and the 700x28 on the PX10 and Paramount.
