Found the 24" radially laced wheel, then I remembered that the matching Straight Eight wheel was radial and 24. So I removed the big 24x3 Fatti-O and swapped tires with the other 24. I like this matching wheelset. It didn't change the negative trail much. I think it went from -2" to -2.5. Took it out for a ride and it actually felt like a better ride than the 26.

Here are some reference shots that are similar to ones I took on my last ride.

Here are some fountain shots showing the clean side of the bike without the sprocket hiding the lower CNC section.

Then I found a cool lane entrance that is under video surveillance.

And I finished my dusk ride at our classic dive bar "Pinkie Masters".
For those of you that don't know, when you leave a downtown bar in Savannah, they kindly put your drink in a "TO GO CUP" so that you can walk around and enjoy the city with your adult beverage of choice.

That's one of my favorite things about Savannah! We were just in town a few weeks ago down on the river and ate at Huey's
 
Sitting nice now...cool that you had the matching front!

I think I liked the skinnier tire better, but I like the matching wheel better overall.
 
I hate the way when you can feel a machine and smell it the pictures do not do it justice. I always Imagine you in the garden struggling with the same frustration

It is always a challenge to capture in photos the vibe we get from our creations.
 
I like the matching wheel also!
I like the tread on front tire too.
:)

Just curious if the 3 inch tire was too fat for the fork?

I didn't even try the fatti o on the front. I think it would probably fit though
 
Im toying around with this idea. I would have to find a 31.6 seatpost to sacrifice to make it work though.

The more I stare at this experiment, the more I don't care for it. I'm just not feeling the nanner and sissy bar.
 
It looks like it should have more of a Corbin style seat, something sitting closer to the tire.
 
I actually like the banana seat it filled up that frame . But your definitely in the back seat looks like a long stretch .

Part of my reason for not going this route, is that I didn't want this build to be too similar to my Poke Choppa build.
