I totally agree on the comment of finding a quality 21 whitewall tire. I was lucky enough to get a pair from Tab at diamondback from he stopped. I got Avons with custom whitewalls. Dont't know what I am going to do for next pair. Hopefully these can last

Not to thread jack, but I havn't been on here in a while, so If I understand this correctly, you can no longer get WW Metz or Avons from Diamondback? What is the current alternative?

Last I heard Tab stopped making them. Another thread said he left Diamondback altogether and was looking at his own venture. As far as I know Vee is the only alternative

eastlozHD, I blame the same people for my desire to have a cool looking bike like you guys. It's not easy and definitely not cheap, as you all know. Lol

If you care what others classify your bike as, then the terrorist have already won.

Benway, what size is the wheel/tire combination on the front of your bike? Looking good! I was just commenting to my wife that I may have to ditch the whole whitewall idea. As many of you have mentioned on this forum, I'd rather ride than spend numerous hours looking for a tire to put on my bike. It shouldn't be so difficult to find a darn tire! Your bike looks awesome.
