Went for 55, this bike was always meant to be a workhorse so it'll only ever have slick or semi slick tyres under 1.95'' on it, mudguards were always part of the plan but I was reluctant to disrupt its clean lines, silly I know. They'll stay on it permanently though now, this bike has two jobs, to get me to and from work in the wet and to be left locked up in town without me worrying about possible theft, I have other bikes for fun and admiring
