Aaron, you really have a winner. Love this bike!
Thanks GMG! I really like this...I can't wait to compare it to the Kellogg. I do have an affinity for the east coast guys. I FINALLY get to use that tape and saddle!!

I forgot to answer a prior question...it will fit at least 28s with plenty of room, and I think 32s could squeeze in there. Clearance is really generous for a roadie.

Aaron, when you are ready, try some Compass tires on this one.

I have them on my son's Della Santa and on my Hollands.

Freakin' amazing. Like big Veloflex Masters.

I think this came out rather nicely. The rear routing fit better this way because of the long stem.

Aaron, easily one of my favorites.

Would love to see it in person some day.

Brooks and tape work great together.

Have to Tom Brady the tires to get past the campi brakes, but it does fit 32c tires comfortably. Might try those compass tires. Regular casing?

So far I have tried the Chinook and Stampede Pass tires in the extralight version.

My son has Chinook Pass extralights on the Della Santa.

So far, all of the sets have been exceptional.

But it might be worth it to try the standard versions. They are $20 per tire cheaper, which really adds up.

Perhaps I will give them a shot as well when the Strada Biancas wear out on the Bilenky.
