Spend enough time in this Forum and a bike with a 16" front wheel will start to look weird

Don't buckle, don't do it - the 16 looks much better, seriously.

Really nice bike btw

Long waits are just that and all too common in this industry. An exercise in patience. As a doubter myself who is now running the Vee Rubber I have to say I am pleasantly surprised by it's handling. I was not sure what to think with everything I had read here, but it has been a good decision for me. I already had my 21 so that did not matter.

Your bike looks great as it is already.

Thank you all for your support. When i heard that they had no idea when the tires would arrive that was it. I was thinking about the led headlight and passing lamps but would not show as much as that tire and rim would have for almost the same money

I think your bike is "done." I feel the same way about mine finally. Time to save for a new one!

cool Nikon.Just like the fat tire thing for me.Really don't care for them or apes.The bars wear me out especially on a windy day when your body is like a sail. Your ride is sweet the way it sits.Pretty much timeless in my mind.Like the above say one of the nicest on these boards.G.

why not go with your 16" fat daddys with Avon Gangster extra wide white walls? I have allways loved that tire. It looked so good on my shovel. When I wear out these dunlops, I will go back.

Man, I feel you. I waited 8 weeks for mine to come in from Exile.

I think your bike looks amazing now. The look of the fat tire on the front vs the skinny 21" is growing on me.
