Hi, reopening an older thread but I'm looking at picking up a Tri Series 700 and am finding so little detail online. So I thought I'd ask. You say clearance for 32s. Have you actually done that? If so, fit well or fit 'ok'. I'm actually quite interested in the one I found because it looks to have such clearance and I'd like to have one of my vintage rides to accept something more than a squeezed 25mm :-)
