Thanks for replying. Yeah I've been thinking about doing that, fatter tyres would make the ride more comfortable for sure but fatter tyres mean more weight and an easier gear ratio to compensate I guess. It's all such a personal thing. What ratio do you have on yours?
What I'm trying to create is a work horse for the daily ride that can do distance, is comfortable, reasonably fast, strong and fun to throw around/skid. I think the Steamroller can be that bike and look good doing it.
