The paint job is really what got me, it looks black. When you get it or look at it in the light you see red metalic flakes and then it almost looks maroon. I like the tires but I was thinking some whitewalls, also thinking of switching out the rims for a set with more spokes. The thought also crossed my mind to take out the spring and see how it sits low, but I really dig the springer fork.
I say you start swapping out parts......definitly gotta go with 3in tires. 24in wheels, brooks saddle, bent fork, shorter crank, you know....add to it. check out my stretch and you'll see what im talking about.
