I just bought a beautiful Waterford 2400 from the year 2000. Silver with blue panels and 853 Reynold's lugged. I know they exist but I haven't seen one lugged mountain bike frame and I just had to jump on this deal. $800 for a complete bike complete with a Manitou Minute, Bonti Race Lites, Chris King Headset, and a freshly brazed disc brake tab for the Avid BB7's.

My question is there a way to dimple the chainstays to accept a larger tire? The bike came with 2.1 Racing Ralph's and they fill up the tiny space Waterford claimed was acceptable for a mountain bike way back when in 2000 . Thanks for your help!

Smoke: if you enlarge the tire clearance, will you photograph your process for us?

TIA.

Sure..........that be up to Jeremy though. He's got to decide to have it done.

You could cut the side knobs off the tire.
