Yep, others are absolutely correct, ride that bike and enjoy the wind in your hair again. Its is an old steel Ciocc? Like Herr said, a larger tire will fit in there. I was riding 20s and sometimes 19 mm tires back then. On 23s, I get them up to about 85-90 on rough LA roads and they work fine. Get over a 100, then you start to bounce. Also, it depends on uour weight but the 90lbs mark is pretty the golden standard for 23 mm tires. Yeah, I ride disc now, but for the longest time, I rode rim brakes and have never had any issues with them stopping. Riding is great for staying young and keep things moving but no one ever talks about crashes. As we get older, we don't bounce that well.
Then again, a new bike is sure nice.
