I have always wanted a twin top tube Rollfast and finally got this frame in a trade. I built it for myself but was wondering ....should I keep the 2.125 balloons or how would 175s be? The balloons work fine but theres very little side clearance at the fork.

I've always been a fan of running the fattest tie i can without needing to mod the frame/fork.... so, if it were me, i'd keep the 2.125" rubber and just keep the front wheel trued up...

I am suppose to be getting a Free Spirit today with 175s on it. I will experiment with a 175 front and see how it feels.That 2.125 has like a sheet of paper side clearence and a very tiny scrub. I think it could use taller handlebars too.No a comfortable ride b3cause your bent over and "reaching" for the ones I installed.
