Someone (you?) posted this same bike on r/bicycling. It's funny to see the differences in reaction. On r/bicycling they're gushing over it, calling it a thing of beauty, etc.

Thank you. That's what I was looking for from GCN but couldn't find it. Looks like they'll cover the Giro and Strade Bianche again. It might be my imagination, but I feel like GCN is offering fewer...

Yep, that's the limiting factor here. It's about 2mm between the tire and the little bump on middle of the seatstay bridge. I don't think there's any way you could get a bigger tire on it.

I have a 2000 Tourmalet that probably had the same generation of Tiagra. I put a new Tiagra 10 speed group on it and it transformed the bike. The new Tiagra is pretty darn good and nothing like that...
