Default 120 tire

So i was wondering who was running a 120 tire on a 21 or 23 inch rim? Thinking about moving up but want to see how it looks, so lets see them.

Yeah, sure... it doesn't help my ******' wallet! LOL

That bike is sick looking brother, I'll be tucking a 140 in my front fender next. How much did you pay for that Metz, if you don't mind me asking.

Mimo.

Hey MIMO! I know the feeling man. One look and your sold. I checked around on prices for the 140, and Tires Unlimited has it for sale for $170 shipped. I'm checking out a lead on someone who might have one already, but if they don't, that's where I'm getting mine.
