This photo set shows how a professional bicycle builder (Jonnycycles) got 700 x 60 Berthouds to fit on a bike not quite made for them:

If 700 x 50 work, you may want to stick with them rather than get involved with all the cutting, grinding and drilling. If you are mechanically inclined and have the tools it is worthwhile. Berthouds are far more sturdy than their aluminum counterparts. On Jan 2, 11:44 pm, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery <[email protected]> wrote: > I'd suggest the 700x50 Berthouds.
