Re: Old News..HELP

stick with the WWs and put a white or black&white saddle on it.

Great ride so far!

Cheers from over the pond.

Re: Old News..HELP

im fine with either on that bike but if you held a gun to my head, id say blackwalls

Re: Old News..HELP

blackwalls remind me of jer's harley. ww's have more of a classic look

Re: Old News..HELP

I think the white walls would be classier. When I think history, especially the history of cars, I think whitewalls. Your fenders are timelines of hotrodding. History.

Re: Old News..HELP

I like the whitewalls with the black rims. I think the black walls might look better if the rims were a different color.

Both look good. The WWs look traditional, the BWs look cool.

The bike looks amazing.

Re: Old News..HELP

check out the Gyes saddles, way cheaper than brooks and at 20' who will know

Re: Old News..HELP

I'm a 1-color tire (black :wink: ) kinda guy, but I'd say the whitewalls look much better in this particular instance. :|

Re: Old News..HELP

I think I'd like the white walls better if they were yellowed.

Excellent job on the bike btw.

The Gyes seat is the one I had one my bike from the Bethlehem ride...it's available in brown too.

but I also have a Brooks in black, seen on my OP...

and a pair of tires that are best described as Beigewalls now. The tires are brand new. They were on a bike on display and developed an almost tobacco like tint to them. Shown here on my Mercury...

Shoot me a line if I can help. 8)

[Galtbacken]

Cool idea with the decoupage! The bike looks great!

Couldn't you just have painted the barn blue before shooting pictures of the bike in front of it though? :mrgreen:
