Okay, so from reading and getting maybe more confused on that Sheldon Brown site, did I understand correctly that those pretty tires on the TE site are NOT a good choice for Pooks, because her current tire is 38 wide and those are 23 wide and that's just TOOOOOO much difference? How much change CAN she make?

Thanks for starting this one Pooks -- I'm going to be following it CAREFULLY!
