I haven't seen any 597 rims, and all 597 tires are really low end. 590 is good, but not that much bigger than 584. The International is a wonderful bicycle. What's wrong with sticking with 630/622 wheels? On Jan 10, 5:54 am, Bruce fullylug...@yahoo.com wrote: There are both 590 and 597 made.

597 is a Schwinn tire, usually referred to as the S6. You can get tires for them, but only low end 1-3/8 tires. Rims are hard to come by outside of steel ones via Schwinn collectors, even then they are not common as the s-7 (571!) which is one of the more baloony schwinn tires. You can get

The Trek frames are racier but the do feature nice low BBs and the rear dropout is a true lug with the tubes set into it, as is the seat cluster. Nicer, IMO than what RBW uses. The remaining Trek lugs are fine, but nowhere near as nice as RBW. They also use more slender tubes. I loved my
