Anyone fitted-and-ridden the Panaracer RiBMo in 700x32C on a 1985 Trek 600?

The frame had very tight criterium geometry so I could only fit the 32mm Ribmo on the rear. The Ribmo front tire rubbed on the crown a bit so I used a 28mm Tserv. After my rear tire has worn down a couple mm's I'm planning on swaping it to the front.
Close, but no cigar.
My order of two Ribmo 700x32C tires arrived this morning, from
Ben's Cycle, and I immediately installed one in place of the Conti GP 4 Seasons on the rear wheel. Seems the extra crowning material ate-up all the clearance, and there was no
rotatio to be had. So, uninstall the new, and reinstall the old. I should've paid more attention back in high school, during geometry class. Sigh.
That was a quick $80 (S/H included).
Mr. Spin Sez: Guess you'll have to find a new bike!
