I have a Saracen Morzine, two questions:

1. Bought 2nd hand so I don't know which year it is. It is yellow with blue trim - if anyone can identify that it would be good to know.

2. More importantly. I have noticed the tyres have begun to split so I need to change them. This is the first time I have changed tyres on this machine. The size is 700 - 25's. Does anyone else think that the presvious owner put the wrong size tyres on it? 25 sounds way too big for road racer - 23 more like it???

Please help quickly as I need to replace them!!!!
Many many many thanks

You should be able to move to 23's without any problem. Bring the wheels into your LBS to confirm.

I just thought 25's were an odd size. When I look at similar bikes they are runnign 23's.
Is 25 an odd size?

No, not at all. He might have been more of a tourer and wanted a slightly larger tire for comfort.

Thanks very much!! Much appreciated!
