Unfortunately it has 23mm tires, not the 25's the seller reported to me. I stuck a front wheel from another bike w/ a 25mm front on it and the clearance under the fork was gauged at 0.10 inch, about 2.5mm. Pretty sure road debris that the front tires might pick up are likely to get crunchy underside of the carbon fork. Anyone ever run that small of a clearance? And was it crunchy?

I'll have to look and see if anyone makes a 24mm 700c tire? Probably not likely.

EDIT: Well there are 24mm 700c tires out there. I imagine this sort of situation spawned them.
