Jimmy Hutch nails it. I think a simple standard for phat tires is the BG Rock-N-Road, at 43mm. I tried them on my QuickBeam, and they were just too tight for comfort between the chainstays. Open those up just a smidge, and it's there.
And an accent colour on the head tube, too, please. Oh, and put the front cable boss for the rear brake in the very center of the top tube, to make a cleaner line for those who run their rear brakes from the left handlebar. - Andrew, Berkeley On Tuesday, November 26, 2013 7:12:15 PM UTC-8, Jimmy Hutch wrote: > > I'd buy a singlespeed Riv sight unseen as long as it has the following > items in order of importance (1-6 are mandatory): > > 1.
