Recently I got from Jan my second set of Grand Bois, the 28mm Cerfs - and just like their larger brothers, these tires ride so nicely. I just completed a 40 mile run up to Ragged Point on the Big Sur and back, and they are so comfortable. The (barely) off topic Centurion I brought with me - (and actually LOVE to ride) - really felt different with the Grand Bois. They fit the frame / brakes pretty well - mountable at full inflation.
