Hi Hugh,
I've used Compass 26x1.75 and Big Bens on my Hunqapillar. The Compass tires
are noticeably faster-- 40-min commute goes down to 35-min. (I have to stop
at lots of traffic lights, so maybe it's due to faster acceleration?)
I've used Compass and Big Bens about a year each in Boston-area
I have one mounted on my Custom but I don't really use it since I
switched from a Carradice Barley to a Carradice Nelson Longflap and
would like to buy some other stuff. It's in very good condition, make
me an offer. I can take pics if you want them.

Great question, Hugh. If I ever decide my Holy Rollers are overkill for my
Atlantis (for longer rides), the Compass tires are what I have in the back
of my mind. Sounds like good reports so far.

No, it has Paul Racers, and there's ample clearance under those. But spec'd
