I've seen people do that, too, and it does seem to help.

Raleigh Portage Touring bike. Everything is original except the foam handlebar tape. I am going to add a 48cm noodle bar, and a higher nitto stem. The Portage came stock with Raleigh branded 650b sized wheels and tires..

Is that a complete bike or did you part it together yourself?

I've been commuting with a '05 trek 4300 with road tires, great bike, but just received this vintage bike (free!!!), hoping to commute with it. The trek being to upright for the 10 mile each way commute. Though I will be keeping it.

I have spent about 5 hrs and $55 on new tires and brake pads. The ones on it were factory, from the '70s, super hard rubber from the age. This is the first road bike I have every owned, and its a much rougher ride then the trek, but much quicker.
