Consider a third option as well, the Vittoria Randonneur Hyper. Available in 32, 35 and 38 mm. My 32's measure 34 mm wide on Velocity A23 rims, they should be a true 32 on a narrower rim. 365 gm (measured), in between the JB blue and green, nice rolling, reasonably flat-resistant, black sidewalls (won't rot in the sun like a skinwall) with reflective stripes. They fit well, too. Every Vittoria I have used has mounted straight and true, securely snug but not overly tight, unlike some of the Panaracer-made tires I've had. They are also a fair bit less expensive than the Supremes. I like them, and there has been a fair bit of love for them from others on the iBOB list.
