I also like the 650b option posted by blakcloud . I have really big feet and with the 700x38 tires mounted, I get considerable "toe rub" that I don't get with the stock 700x32c tires. (Note that that isn't a Domane issue, it's an issue I've had on just about every bike I've ever owned.)

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I'm just excited to finally see some other 2020 Domanes... I was starting to think I was the only one on the planet that had one.

That's interesting. I have size 12 shoes.

My steel Domane-like frame fits Compass 38mm tires (Barlow Pass and Steilecomb), and the front derailleur indeed is the issue.

I should take a look at 650b for a second wheel-set. If I could get 42mm tires in there, it might be worth it.
