saarf, you could get some 26" Panaracer Pasela's for that, i think they would look pretty good?

this sort of thing

fancied something like that rather than gum walled, the jury's still out though
it's a master frame in alleged saronni red, inspired by Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force ( shout out to the Zulu Nation ) so
it's meant to take it easy in the city in the sun

They look really slow, the DMR super moto was one of the slowest tyres I ever rode on MTB... Literally had to pedal going down hills as they dragged so much.

Get some paselas on it, tan walls will look a treat.

Schwalbe SuperMoto won't be slow, it's a speeded up Big Apple, which is already a nice tyre.

here it is in it's original state, pre Bambaataa

Been a long time brewing, but have finally got this set up perfectly

And my girlfriends ss, ready for the summer

Girlfriends bike looks nice but why have you taped up the centre of the bars?

They were really scratched up and I'm too tight to buy some new ones....

She's gonna be sliding forward all the time...

At least level the Brooks.

Ed: have PM'd you

My wife (and maybe other women who ride Brooks?) seems to like the saddle level or even slightly angled down.

But apart from that, both look very nice.

Actually quite like the idea of bars like that taped right up to the stem, shed loads of hand positions.

At least level the Brooks.

The Brooks works best for her in this position; I sent her out with an allen key so she could adjust the saddle herself and this is how it came back

What does she know?

The Scoblemeister has spoken.

Pretty sure you could get hold of some black 26" Pasela's, but i think they only go up to 1.75? not sure how fat you want them.

as fat as the fatback band please
the ones I was after were 2.3 i think

the fatness will be ''un homage'' the phat laces on the shoes of the Zulu Nation

i was going to call the whip "Grandmaster Flash"

Built this for my girlfriend

Looks great, one rarely sees head saddles these days.

Classy as fuark.

Well nice.

Cheers. Alexander the Great edition regal. Just took delivery of an 853 tube set and lugs. Venturing into frame building. Pics shortly:)

Definitely seem to have a bit of a thing for red/black bikes at the moment.

Finished the CX/towpath bike to use up some parts I had lying around, and put DA on the Roberts.
