Looks really nice. Maybe drop the rear an inch.

I am a fan of 16 inch wheels, this is what the Switchback has always needed. I suspect it will be an option for 2015! Duo glide look is always a excellent goal..................

Toy Truck, if you're after the retro look you did good

I think the opposite of you.....imo, The Switchback's rims are what makes the bike.

After cleaning my Heritage wheels for many a Saturday, I'm not too sure I would do the swop. But, I do agree, there is definitely a strong nostalgic theme...

CJ shoot me a PM.

I can't Pm yet I guess. Not enough posts yet I guess

Thanks everybody! now I'm looking for a brown solo seat. Can't decide on a spring seat or not. Any suggestions?
