Tony, I have had problems with these Michelin's 700X28's on other bikes that had 28's on them and when replaced with the Michelin's would not clear the fork at the top. Width was fine. I think it is only a problem with these particular 28's.
The MARK V is all but done and went together without a hitch. Many admirers. This one is a demo that I will ride. However, Like many various bikes I have built as a demo or Jude bike, I often have people make me an offer for the one that is all done. I say, you know its a demo, they say how much, then it's gone. I lost 3 steeds last year that way. It is a pleasure doing business with you and hope to do more.
