Thanks, both of those look interesting. I could use a Marathon Supreme 50 as well. It would be fine, however ideally I prefer some tread, I have slid out and crashed on the slick Marathon Supreme on wet pavement; I learned not to exceed those limits but it's nice to have a margin of safety.

What is available in tires 700 x 45-50 for commuting and touring? For an Atlantis on synergy rims. I have used Marathon Supremes in 700 x 40. They are really nice tires and I have toured with them. Most of the paved and unpaved roads in my area are fine with these, but some newly laid gravel

I think that Skenry makes some valid points. If the idea is to “just ride,” then who cares what kind of bike someone else chooses? Rivendells are really nice bikes. They are sturdy and good-looking and made to last. They are also expensive. I think when you buy something expensive there is
