I really like the look of the red tyres. A pair of  black comp IIs or the tyres off your Tuffs would look good too  :daumenhoch:

Thanks for the feedback folks.

I am sticking to my guns on this one (red tyres).

That's very cool as is.

I had red tyres w/ tanwalls on my 'goose back in my teens, but I have solid black tyres on it now.

And if you're riding it now, the new odyssey tyres will be perfect!

OK changed to all Red.

Just waiting for the 6mm bolt kit for the ACS BOA brakes and need to put a layback seat post on (top tube is well short).

Pretty pleased with it for a first proper build.

I agree it needs a different seat, but the all red is what I am after as a finished look.
