I have a 52 cm first gen Bombadil. I am using Quasi-Motos on it now and I think they fit well and work well at the pressure I run (usually low to mid 20s). As I recall it, when I first mounted them I over inflated them to help with seating and the front touched something. Probably the front tab on my Nitto mini front rack. Before I bought the frame at RBW I test rode one that I think had a Neo-Moto on the front and a Quasi-Moto on the rear. So I think RBW would approve that. I don't think I would want to go bigger than the Quasi-Motos personally. In fact when they wear out I may try going down in size and try the BG Rock-n-Road. Though it seems most folks are looking to fit in the biggest rubber they can. I think the Neo-Moto's are about as big as will fit. The second gen style Bombadils have wider crowns and probably other changes that allow for larger tires.
