I have always ridden a 20mm and am just used to it. I am considering upping the size to a 23mm to save about $40 a tire.

A 20mm for the bike cost about as much as a tire for my P-car.

Also, why would you want a 700c x 20 tire? 3 things you might want to keep in mind:

1. A 20mm tire is VERY narrow and tough to remove and install.
2. Continental actually conducted a test that proved that a 25mm tire is actually faster than a 23 and a 20.(23 is still more popular)
3. Because of #2, variety options for 20mm tires is slim!(no pun intented!)

something to consider.
Good luck with your bike, sounds nice!
