Assuming the wheelset is original, you'd have to rebuild the rear wheel with an 11-speed hub. Everything else is a standard build.

I tried a set of 700x28 Conti Grand Prixs a few years back and the back one was okay but the front rubbed the steerer where it came down below the fork crown.

I've got the same wheelset on my Look 585. If you don't already have tubeless tires on them, I recommend you try some when you replace the current ones. They make it even smoother. :)

I've got a 60cm '87 and wear size 46 shoes and don't have that problem. The bike is nicely responsive, doesn't feel any more twitchy than my modern bikes...maybe a bit less so.

K1196A - FWIW, Conti has discontinued those tires in 700x24. Not to worry, they're making them in 700x25 now. :)
