Hi Jarek

The maximum tyre size is 28c. We can custom build for larger tyres and then we'd fit Shimano long reach calipers such as the R650.

Best regards

Re: ethos

Thank you for quick response Mark.
I will definitively go for custom frame.After big research Enigma is my choice.
I am 50 and I've never been road race cyclist .For more than 10 years I'm driving touring bike Scott Atacama Pro -Aluminium with good groupset Shimano XT. I was a weekend cyclist doing short tours with my not very sportive family.But now my fascination for cycling reborn because I have opportunity to comute to work by bike so I'm doing 15 km every day- on road.
I am finking about top quality but relaxed and versatile road bike with steel frame - not carbon or Ti. My choice was Ethos but till now i was riding 40 to 32 tyres and i'm not sure that with thiner road tyres I will sacrifice to much comfort . My second thought is Element , but I'm more tempted towards road like Ethos.Please advice me - if I'm not asking for to much.
PS. I already starte saving so I will be ready in few months.
