Hello! I don't know very much about the tubular tires, I've only dabbled in them some, and read up on them a fair amount. I bought a set of tires recently for a bicycle I am restoring; its not yet in operational condition to allow me to test how well these tires will work in function for sure, but I will show you a picture of the tire's logo, that I bought. I may be wrong, but it could actually be a 700c tubular. The fellow I bought them from said he used them in a few races, and then sold them to me used, at a good rate. I mounted them on my wood rim, and it fit snuggly even without glue {but glue should be used}. It fit so snuggly that it was a little hard to put on , and had a couple of light folds sort of form in places from stretching it. Once I pumped up the tire, the folds went away and it got nice and smooth, and looked to be in a usable condition. I would highly recommend, if you have a 700c tubular on hand already, to give it a try mounting it, and see how it looks. This will aid in tire shopping. The below pictures, show the tire I bought, and the bike I am working on. I will be doing a post on the bike later on sometime with more photos and whatnot. Hope this helps some; the friend of yours who does wheels may have further advice; thank you, and have a Happy New Year!

tire is about 1 1/4 inch wide, so slightly narrower that an original, but I am okay with that for my bike.

This is a circa 1915 Montgomery Ward Deluxe Flyer. Hope to complete it and ride it sometime in 2021. This bike was painted bright orange when it was new,
and its orange now, just the wrong kind. Right now its orange and brown from heavy rust, not from paint!
