I recently learnt something new: It's not impossible for 25mm tires to be too big for a road bike. This is a 23mm tire, because 25mm didn't fit.
A few months ago I bought an old steal frame. I didn't check the tire clearance because I didn't thought this could be a problem. I mean for mountain and gravel this is a normal thing to consider but for road bikes I took it for granted that you can fit 25mm.

Too skinny for my spine
I would say it’s just right – as long as you stay on (dry) tarmac. I’ve a comparable offender and must say, the handling of this “criterium” geometry is pretty cool.

Looks perfect lol
Looks great
Fixie bros being like “hmmm perfect”
Frame too nice to change out anyway so I guess you’ll have to live with it 😭
Looks alright. Fyi the little sks Germany case is supposed to be strapped between stem and toptube. That way you can look at your phone while riding. Just in case you didn’t know 😉
I’d run that on a road rear
I’d be putting 650b on there if a 23mm still barely fits…
