Now talking of Pro Ams, I just found this on ebay
, it seems to've been on a bit of a journey, and I don't mean the normal kind:

Still a Pro-Am frame though.

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

Hi Andrew, the machine has 700c wheels.

This may help...

I think Andrew was looking for tyre size?

 

[Banff]

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.

Fitted the front wheel 'back to front' as well.

 

[mikeymustard]

And haven't lined up the writing with the valve - very sloppy

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