Took "ma hoag" out for a test spin after adding a 3spd,, new hoops & tires. Rode great, this may be my beach bike this summer. Continental retro ride 700x50 are a close fit & almost look like ballooner's. Reminds me of a saying that you can't put a large girl in a white dress. Almost went for the 55's, glad that I didn't. These tires are beautiful, the tread wraps completely around the sidewall. Other than a few minor adjustments, this ole boy is ready to roll.
