23mm?  Heck no!  The tide is turning folks… You heard it here first. Well.  Eleventy-seventh or so….  But, when a photo like this shows up on the webbernet:

You think to yourself, “Sure, some fringe personal page by someone crazy enough to ride road bikes offroad…”  Oh-ho! You’d be wrong. 

CyclingNews.com article on the current personal ride of Andy Hampsten - the Hampsten Cycles Strada Bianca Ti Travelissimo  - shod impeccably with Rivendell Jack Brown (Green) tires. Nice.  Very, very nice.
