Hi Folks,
Quick question,
Recently had a spin on old bike with 28C tyres,(bike was not for sale)
Really liked the tyres, coped with my excess weight:p and rough roads I usually end up on...
Does anyone know of any Framesets/Bikes on the market that will accommodate 28C tyres,
My current bike will only take 25C max,

Loads of them will.

What's your budget?

Usually anything with long reach brakes (57mm) should accomodate a 28 with a mudguard and maybe a 32 with out.

"This frame is built to fit 47-57mm brakes which allows a 700-28 tyre with mudguards to be fitted. "

Right, but if you widen the criteria to "28mm tyres without mudguards" then conventional brakes will work fine, in my experience.

Ah yeah but you can be pretty assured that these frames will accomodate a 28mm. Others might be iffy.

Thanks for replys,
Would probably stretch to about €750 for a decent frame,,,
Would be interested in carbon fibre if it was strong enough for my weight - 100kg......

100Kg is nothing for a carbon bike

Full Carbon frame and fork for €560 that has clearance for 28m tyres or 25m tyres and full guards.

Sportive 365 from Ribble.

Weighs in at only 1060 in the medium size as well.
