Centurion Lemans question

I have a '86 Lemans RS, which was my Tri bike some years ago. I am in the process of making it more comfortable and am wondering how much tire I can put on. I am running 700x25, and would be riding on a combination of paved roads and the Katy trail, which is not. Do I have more room, or should I stay with the tires I have?

You should have room for at least 28's. Most Lemans RS models have eyelets for fenders/racks, one set.
The best thing to do is look at it. See how much clearance you have, and go from there.

Nice to have you here.

I hope this answers your question (but I doubt it does), but I'm running 700x35c on a 72 LeMans seems like plenty of room if I wanted to go up to 29ers...
