I was in my mind palace, as one does on long train rides, and I got to thinking about the deep lore of modern Randonneur bikes. I remembered in my early days at the Sheldon Brown academy reading some very high concept propaganda from France that culminated in Hutchinson manufacturing a tire seemingly at gunpoint. I dug a little deeper and voila this stuff is still very much on the internet and still being updated even. Is anybody aware of this group, and do you think anybody still wants 650x32b tires nowadays?

I like your bike 650b is awesome too.
Surely somebody does. GP5000s are available in 650×32 and Schwalbe Pro Ones in 28. 38 definitely seems to be the agreed-upon volume for many after the dust settled, though.
