Handling at slow speeds has to suck on that thing ....... looks sharp though!

ummmm got any pics of that becuase all the original bobbers i have seen have never had a tire like that....and in the 50's the original bobbers didn't even look close to that from what i have seen

Get rid of the tire??? That's what makes the bike so distinct!!! Looks like somehting Russell Mitchell would build. Up here in the WEST COAST the 16" wheels are a big item, dont see a lot of 21" wheels here, AKA PIZZA CUTTERS

I said get rid of it if you like. I actually like it but would have done it in a 20" at least. As for Pizza Cutters, the saying is cookie cutters and as far as Mitchell, he is about as current as chopping Hondas and jerry curls.

16" tires are stockers for the most part and kewl on bobbers and some old school bikes but note to you Canadians, you aren't up on trends...the current trend is 23"s in the front and 20's in the back. Maybe you don't see 21's up there because you will get them 10 years after they go out of style...by the way there is a reason why Russell Mitchel never caught on, his bikes aren't much more than O.K. Kinda underwhelming if you ask me but then again I'm no Canadian...LOL...
