Update: Got the tires today and just stretched them onto the wheels. Think I'm going to let them sit for a couple days - still awaiting the tubular tape, anyways. A bit tight going on, but nothing too difficult - and the tires look/feel fantastic. I can see I'll be dickering around a bit to get them perfectly aligned on the rims, but that's part of the fun, right?
Also, forgive my ignorance, but the tires are marked 28" x 25 - shouldn't that be 700c x 25?
Anyway, here's what they look like
mounted but not yet taped:
