I am a fan of 28's . I have a set of 28c Bontrager AW 2 I like on my Windsor Pro. I am running 25c on my Medici , some Bontrager Race Lite tires that were "take offs" that I purchased for $20 from a guy who didn't want them. They are awesome , but I would prefer 28's , but for the price , I figured they would be good. I don't take my Medici on gravel or dirt. The Panaracer tires are good too, they offer some nice comfy tires that are reasonably priced. I have found them to be easy to mount and seat. You are going to run clinchers?

Thanks for the info! How can you tell the chainring is Mavic SSC? I can only find Mavic on the arms. You also are saying these Scott Superbrakes are worth some $$$ ? I am still learning and familiar with some parts but never heard of these brakes. Again, thanks for the info.

That would explain it. Thanks. They look like the 630's I've seen but thought the SSC was maybe stamped. And correct also about the Superbrake's being worth serious $$. I can sale them alone and have almost half the money for a Wabi Special. LOL

the Scott brakes are quite rare and have a high coolness factor.
that being said they are also quite ugly and only look "right" on
a time trial funny bike

LOL, I absolutely agree. Whenever I get vintage Campagnolo's to replace them, they'll definitely be removed and possibly sold.

$200 is great deal. It looks pretty clean. I'd ride it as is. I owned 2 before. I bought this frame on Ebay and had it painted. I'm not sure how Im going to build it. Old school or modern components.

Thanks! Sweet looking frame you have. I'm a little jealous you have the matching pump. LOL I also know the struggle of your tough decision. I even thought of making mine a single speed.

I'm running this bike as a single speed current;y. I can't find a rear Simplex derailleur for it. It's got a matching pump too. LOL.
