I gave up riding about 12 years ago after a 6 year stint with the
Canberra Cycling club.
I kept my road race bikes and training bikes, and now wish to ride
again just to get a little exercise.
When i went to a local shop after 12 years being out of it, the design
of road race bikes was radically
different and all alum or carbon frames, and not a 531 steel frame
anywhere
and all the bits and peices and group sets have changed.
All the wheels seem to have become 700C, and I was told the
new size of road wheels and tyres won't fit the old frames and brakes.
I used to use 27" tyres, size 23 clinchers which fitted the frame space
ok.
Rather than take the 3 bikes I have to the metal re-cyclers, or spend a
grand + on a new bike I'd like to ride a few k more on the old ones
which are in good condition
apart from the tyres.
Who in the ACT stocks any 27" slim section profile tyres?
BTW, Hi to anyone who rode during 1986 to 1992 in CCC in the vets
division.
