i think the reply to this question is very very specific to the bike thats wearing them.
take this match set of 1970's uniroyal slicks i have. (20x2.125 and 20x1.175)
theres some cool butt tires!
when i got them, i had one set of rims and one bike in mind.
set of 20" double walled alex rims on my fav rapido.
i built the bike long before i got the tires. problem is the rear tire is too big, and it don't fit.
i thought about making it fit, but i ride this bike all the time. (almost every nice day) i just didn't want to take it outta comission.
figured, heck i'll just build another. time passed on and i never found a cool gusset to start the build around.
i ended up throwing the tires on my fireball.
i probably wont even ride the bike, just to keep em new.
keep thinking i'll kristen them on a new black lowrider. somehow there just not nearly as cool on the fireball. :?
