Hi Joe, If you contact Greg Parker, he can get you a frame; the Sportifs are classy and classic-looking. While they are not designed for this w-i-d-e tire moment, they sure look like wonderful road bike frames that will accommodate tires suitable for randonneuring. It'd be great to see them built up and as bare frames on the Heron web pages!
