RFC, Mine is a '95, the first year (per catalog) of the 3.0 touring frame and the less attractive unicrown fork. It also has 135 mm rear dropout spacing. Between the chainstays I have ~1.5 mm tire clearance.
Tom, I'm jealous! I've had a head/chest cold since after Christmas and haven't rode at all. 65 PSI is the lowest recommended pressure on my sidewalls and the lowest pressure I've run since I was a kid...so far, so good.

I wish I could get wider on mine. I'm afraid my 32's barely squeak in the rear triangle already on my ST400.

Canopus, are you running 700's or still have 27" rims? On the ST's that have gone through a 700c conversion here, I've found that 32's fit fairly easily.
But the ST's I've worked on have all been caliper brakers, none newer than '88.

Interesting. So my '91 would still be "first generation" ST? And it seems the road bikes went to 3.0 well before the touring bikes? I still have lots to learn. 😉
