That surprises me on the 25s, I like and am running on three bikes Specialized Turbo Pro 28mm which are, IIRC, 27mm wide but only 24mm or so off the rim and I have 5mm+ clearance on the stays which is plenty and over 10mm on the bridge and ST. At 71 my bars moving up not down so we are no doubt looking for different things in a build. Be careful the tubes are thin. Mine with bar end levers 2x9, not brake/ shifters, and Specialized Axis Elite wheelset is under 19#. I think mine is a '93 as it had some Shimano 600 stuff left on it when I got it.
