I want to get some quieter and smoother rolling tires. I love gum walls but I think black would look better on this one. Maybe some silver or accent colored cables. Any thoughts or ideas?
I like !

Maxxis DTH 2.15 is one good option - available in tan wall, dark tan wall, black wall. All would look great on this bike. ( note: regular tan wall versions are a challenge to find)
