I seem to remember reading that the 47 Roadini was designed with bigger
clearances in mind because tire availability in 650x32-35 is pretty slim,
whereas 650x38-42 is much easier to find.

The Continental Contact Speed is available as 650B x 32. Blackwall only.
(English supply) Hutchison Confriere is also 650B x 32 and has a gray sidewall
(French sellers). Grand Bois Cypres 650B x 32 is available with a tan wall.
(from Japan or from Berthoud). You can also ask on the 650B li
Eric, does 650B have much larger clearances than the 700C Roadinis? The 50cm
listed for sale elsewhere on this forum shows Jack Brown 33s without a whole
lotta room left over, certainly not for 43. I used that same tire on my 53cm

Eric, did her 47 Roadini have clearance for a 38? I must have read somewhere

I actually just went through trying to find 35mm tires for my gf’s Roadini.
Ended up bumping up to 38mm because they were much more readily available. I
believe Grand Bois Cypres are 32mm, but I couldn’t find those anywhere except
Japan. Others may be in the know on better options though...

I see Riv sells the Continental basketball tire at 650b x 32, and that tire
is surely a good one, but I wonder if there are any other roadish tires
availble in 650b x 32 - 35 range for that small Roadini.
Panaraer Nifty Swifty's would be perfect, but they don't seem to be
available anymore.
