I use Grand Bois Cypress 700x30 tires on mine--the skinniest tires of any bike I own. The comments I get on some rides are, "Wow, that dude is riding on like cyclocross tires or something." My motto is as the hill gets steeper go to a lower gear, so I have a "fancy" 10-spd compatible Sugino triple crank with 12-27 cassette. Wonderful ride. I always wonder if a 650b custom "Roadeo" may be the perfect Randonneur bike, although my 650b Ram is pretty near perfect for me...
