If the fenders are a tight fit with the 700x32c would the slightly
smaller but still plump 700x30c make life eaiser? there are a number
of options out there from Kenda Michelin Verdstein and Grand Bois. If
you google the size you get a raft of links.

I had a Roubaix Elite a few years ago. It was a really fun bike and I
did a double century on it with no problems. I wish they'd taken it a
couple steps further so I could have made at least some attempt to fit
wider tires, fenders, etc.

I have two Tilleys, an olive T3 that's a bit warm for summer around

Used for 3 months. Like new. A few tiny scratches where it was

Well, as full disclosure, my Berthouds were installed by a
professional builder while making some other adjustments to my tourer
while the Honjos were installed by me.

I agree. How long is your commute? Mine is 30 miles, so I quickly

Of course you're fooliish! But we're long past concerning ourselves

Perhaps a better course would be to order a set of custom wheels from
Riv, Peter White, me, etc. That way, you can have a choice of rims and
you can get a Phil freewheel hub that matches the spacing of your
Centurion.
