Yeah it doesn't have CeramicSpeed bearings and isn't aerodynamicly tuned in the wind tunnel so it won't give you those marginal gains, so basically it is stupid. If only this guy knew anything about the forks NACA created for use on the Bell X-1 he might have something ; )

I do not approve of soaking Campagnolo rims in salt water.

And a Laser lookalike
The rest of his frames are geared (and gorgeous). He does steel, aluminium, and crabon fibre.

It is a Rule #26 violation, but since he's been building since the '60s (he created the Ciocc brand), I'll give him a pass.

A pass, he has been building since the 60s no passes. If he was brand new to bikes and cranking stuff that looks that nice I might forgive a little but violating the rules is against the rules.
Challenge is better because they make similar tires (open tubulars) but they have more width options and also options for when you don't want the road but maybe aren't going Moun-tain biking (they do make some racing tubs for that though). Who would want to run a 23c tire anymore though? Even pros are going 28c!

I'm running mine on 24mm wide rims and have found that 90F/95R psi is my sweetspot for the perfect combo of comfort/performance. Feels like I'm floating on 28s.

He pre-dates the rules, though. I think he's allowed a momentary lapse in judgement.
(also, I ride 23s)

I was pertaining only to road bikes really. Not just considering comfort, but overall performance as well - specifically cornering. Best road bike clinchers IMO.

Is wide tires vs skinnies the new brakes/brakeless noise?
