I have a Triban 540 from around the same time, I put 28mm Schwalbe Durano Plus tyres on it. I have mudguards fitted, so you could go a bit wider than 28mm if you don’t have mudguards.
Section 44 of the Terrorism
Section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000 gave the police very broad powers to stop and search. That was found to be in breach of Article 8 of the Convention on Human Rights and has since been repealed.
Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 is still on the books, but that is a bit more limited in scope.

Thanks for that, it was interesting.
Along the lines of Strava for Learning, I was doing Advent of Code with some of my friends at the end of last year. So I think that sort of thing has potential.

Maybe I’m missing something, but isn’t 130mm a standard size for a wheel and quite easy to find?

At the moment it’s probably largely a question of what you can get your hands on. I really like the look of the Ribble CGR AL, but the estimated delivery date for that is the 29th April.

Thanks for the replies. I managed to install the tyre, although it certainly wasn’t easy. I’ll go for a folding one next time if it’s going to make fitting it less of a struggle.

Ground anchors – the motorcycle parking at my local train station has this style of ground anchor. When it’s been concreted in, it sits flush with the ground and looks like a very neat solution.

Spray it with WD40 (avoid getting any on the brake pads or wheel rim). If that doesn’t fix it then replace it.

I’m also on the lookout for a new bike along similar lines. I’m not bothered about tubeless, but basically I’m looking for a road bike with disc brakes that will take wide tyres (preferably at least 32mm) and full mudguards.
So far my shortlist is:
Decathlon RC520 + better wheels
Ribble CGR – not sure exactly how I’d spec it, but probably aluminium frame and 105.
Planning to use the bike to work scheme, so I’d probably go for the CGR – I can get a discount on a whole bike but I wouldn’t get one on the wheels for the RC520.

A 1-1/4 inch tyre would
A 1-1/4 inch tyre would almost certainly be marked as 32C. If you were to measure the actual width that would vary depending on the width of the rim, tyre pressure, etc, and would probably be somewhere between 30 – 32mm.
I’m not sure how useful your baseline is. I have 28C tyres, if I pump them all the way up to the limit on the sidewall it’s a pretty harsh ride, but if I let a bit of pressure out they’re fine on most roads.
