Up to 44C without mudguards. You would have to add
CX levers and a dyno light.


Great only too expensive, especially compared to the
Fuji and in particular the amount of money in
my wallet.

Why do they do randonneurs with 32 tires anyway?!


Doesn't make sense. Of course if using the randonneur as a daily commute
bicycle it might make sense to put on tires that narrow. Otherwise, 700
x 35 would be the minimum.
