My point is that low gears and fat tires make for a more versatile bike -- and those are two things you can't get on your current bike. You'll never be able to use a 30mm tire,

I wonder if that's really true. That 1972 Raleigh I still use for some
rides has 32mm (AKA 1 1/4") tires on it right now, with no problems.

That's the difference in ten years and perhaps brands. Joerg is stuck at 25mm -- or at least that's what he's running. The bike is sized for 49mm drop caliper, if I'm reading his posts correctly. That might get you a 28mm, but probably not.
