Nice choice. The blue stands out and is "noticeable", which helps when out on the streets. Check out some of the previous threads on tire types which may be what you need/want for your type of riding....

Thanks! Interesting about the blue....when my wife saw it she immediately said "ooh, I like the colour!"
Yeah these tires are way too big, and they bind in the rear frame unless the wheel is pulled back a bit. It looks like new tires and brakes are in order. If I do that then I'll investigate 451 wheel sets. The bar is too narrow too. Uh oh.

Those tires do look a bit "big". If those are 406 wheels, go the money saving route and maybe get a pair of 20x1.50 or 1.75 tires to try out for now. If that doesn't work out, then maybe the 451. BruceMetras above says the 451 will fit. Enjoy....

I take it that you're no where near NYC?
