My guess is P45 as they don't seem large enough for a real big tire, but was
hoping for some expert input!
And yes, Honjos would be just perfect!

I think those are P45s--I have the P60s (I forget if that's what
they're actually called--they are actually 60mm wide, for 26" wheels)
and they are super wide with tons of clearance even with 42mm 650b
tires. It's easier to get the fender lines right on a 650b with 700c
plastic fenders than 26".

Then a friend told me yesterday he would sell his Saluki -- complete, minus
saddle, pedals and rear rack for $1000.

I wouldn't call the Heron Road an "all 'rounder," (or do you mean the
touring model?) It maximized tire clearance with the short reach sidepulls
of the time, but that only amounts to maybe a 30mm tire, no fenders--it's
definitely a road bike. I think it's the closest thing to the Bridgestone
