I don't think putting some slightly thicker road tires will ruin the geometry of the bike in any way. My thoughts are either to sell this bike as is or mod it so I can ride it again. I don't think I'm going to get much for it. I only got 500 for my CAAD9 with DA7800. I figure I might get 400-500 for this bike with SSFG setup.
2) Totally agree with you re: modern frames. I think I want that too... maybe. But if I'm going to sell this bike I want to atleast enjoy it again first and give it a new lease ya know?
I hear ya brother. It sounds like you know what you're doing and what you want. So I'm going to go ahead and entrust your bike to you at this point.
PS: For my money tires are a good way to improve ride quality. Folks here generally seem to like Compass' offerings among others...
