fyxation - expensive but actually real quality. feel grippy.
I'm putting more white into my ride...seat, grips, crankset and my back wheel. Goin for a kind of optical illusion effect that I don't think will work with black tires. We'll see. Either way it's lookin good so far.

Yes, "look" is most important to me. Surprise, some people want a ride they can look good on. Why I came to you guys is to find out if I could get quality along with it.
I can't really understand what's wrong or funny about wanting a bike that looks like the photo I'm posting. If it is then I'm clearly in the wrong place and why would I stick around?

Anyway, I personally ride the Gatorskins or the Duranos

I just ran through my 25c thickslick on the back. I still might buy more though, since they aren't that expensive and ride nice. That and I want to eventually try a 28c Rando back there too.
I honestly feel like I don't skid that much. My streets being pretty ****ty can't help.

Yea, I'm getting how all this works now. Didn't mean to come off rude, just woke up one morning with a bikeforum email update on all these replies. Thanks for the input.
