I am building a set of tubular wheels it will be fun to compare the 32 mm rene hearse with 29mm FMB cobblestone on Nemsis rims
Off topic but I cannot resist. Picked up that rusty Pro Miyata frame ('83) last summer and decked it out with Cyclone brakes and derailleurs, GEL330 tubular rims, 23c and 25c Veloflex rubber. (Nearly the biggest that will fit. Even number widths are hard to find.) That bike! That ride! Takes me back to the race bike I loved. And pushes me to ride harder!)
