I ended up switching to 700x23. Had to move the brake pads down only a little. The new rear has a 7 speed cassette, having a some problem with getting the chain to go to the outside, keeps jumping around. Posted problem on BM and they suggested a new 7 speed chain, will go that route and see if it works. I adjusted the limit screws and chain tension to no avail.

I will take closer view of Headtube badge., The previous owner had taped a bracket for holding pepper sprayon the sideof the HT, so there is still some tape resin remaining on, got most of it off...
