Hi Spokesman,
Could you tell me what size the Schwalbe Road Plus tires are that you've fitted to your Pro Am? They look like 35c, but I can't see the size details in any of the photos. I need to buy some new tires for winter and those look like what I need. I've tried some cyclocross tires, but they didn't fit.
Thanks
Andrew

Mikeymustard is correct. I was looking for the tire size, in particular the width.

Looks like he bent the Wayfarer and found the Pro Am as a donor frame

I need to change my slick 23c tires to more winter suitable tires with better grip. I'd like to run 35c tires at a lower pressure to give better traction. I usually change over to an old mountain bike with studded tires as the roads get more covered in snow and ice, but I thought this winter to try use my Pro Am more as it's nicer to ride on roads.

Spokesmann, could you tell me the tyre width? I'd PM you but I can't yet.
