Tires are Panaracer Nifty Swifty. They're the widest I can use with fenders and that front rack. The rack is a custom job from the Rack Lady:

She'll build you whatever you want, front or rear, I believe.
Those rims are Rigida Sphynx, no longer made. That's a sweet wheelset w/ Campy NR hubs, and is now on my Ebisu rather than on my gritty commuter!
