If it's comfortable now, it only gets better with supple and much lighter tires! 650s would look bad on my 620 (which is now into the 'shop' to get its canti posts replaced and positioned so that it can work with TRP mini-Vs for a big brake upgrade). 700x42s all day.
Nice, do those 42x622 tyres fit with fenders? For the WorldTraveller I am thinking to limit it to 38 or even 35mm tyres but let's see what happens with the Graveller once I put different tyres on.
