bike looks great. What rims did you use? I am a little new to this. Can you put different width tires on the same type of rim? or is your front rim more narrow than the back for the size tires you used? Also what is that stem you used? looks cool. Thanks

 

[roland365]

thanks guys...the starjet original tires were 26x1.50 so the rim was thinner...the back was really bent so i replaced with another rim from a newer rim that used the balloon style tires. the stem is from a 80s schwinn. its more of a bmx style.
