Hi Charlie,
    Harris Cycles has some 700x35 (closer to an actual 32mm) Avocet tires- the older Japanese ones with tan sidewalls. The price is right, the look is right, and they roll along quite nicely. I commuted on these for over a year, and now have a set them on the family tandem.
    Best regards,
    Wes Gadd

    HI I have a Mercian (1982) looks like new+would like to ride it. Has 700-35c Michelin Hi-Lite tyres that look good BUT I think they are original equipment on this bike. I do not trust them because of the age. The rims are Wolber M58(Super Champion) 23.2 wide outside measurement. ? What tyre will be appropriate to use? I'm thinking 700-28 or 32c What do I do?
