I just got an Armadillo Hemisphere tire for my mtb (it comes in 26", which is what I have, and 700c, which should work for you, right?) and I'm finding it really smooth-rolling and nice -- also much easier to get on and off than the skinnier Armadillos, which is a nice perk. I've ridden it on gravel and extremely rough road with great success. When it's time to replace my other tire, I'll be getting another Armadillo Hemisphere.

I have Armadillos on my other bike, too, and haven't gotten a flat with them in something like 3,000 miles.

Have fun on the new bike!
