Well I rode mine this morning in the drought stricken dry hot area Canberra Australia has become and I must say its a great bike on rough roads. Mine has 700c rims but Oh its a joy to ride. May not be a LeChampion but ad a light bag and a destination and it is such fun. Dry and not raining 30 or so degrees centigrade plus. in Queanbeyan. Can only water by hand held hose on odd days. /dlh.
