The Bianchi Strada Claris is listed on the website with 32's but I looked at the dealer yesterday and the two they had both ran 28's.

The Giant Fastroad Comax 1 on the American website says the tires are 700x25,
the Giant website in Korea say the same bike comes with 700x28
My Fastroad Comax 1 came with 700x28 , pics when I get a phone with a working camera

Changing tires if not shipping from factory with a 28, is not difficult, I fit them on my 30 year old RB-1..
get a hybrid ... swap the tires , Or a road bike with a flat bar conversion..
some people seem to just start bike name dropping shopping threads for amusement, while @ work..

Why would that even be a concern?

too bad you cannot make up your own mind, and have to crowd source a popularity based decision..

Almost any bike these days can take 28 mm tires. since you posted your question in the hybrid forum i would even say most cna take 40 mm. Obviously every frame can use narrower tires....
If you just want to know which bike already has 28 mm from the factory to avoid replacing tires, here is a complete list.
tires are wear items, I would chose a bike based on something that you don't easily replace, like the frame etc.

If I was shopping for a flat bar road bike, I too would get a Trek FX S5/S6 and just swap to 28 mm tires if needed.
