An observation:
The trend in 700c tire widths seems to be approaching from below 32mm, which is an interesting number.
During the "bicycle boom" in the 1970s, the most popular clincher tire size for a road bike was 27 x 1-1/4".
1-1/4" is about 32mm. Hmm.
Another size at the time (for the really high end road bike) was 27 x 1-1/8", and 1-1/8" is about 28mm. Also hmm.
After 50 years of "trying something different", we are converging to the popular tire widths from the 1970s.
