Hey there,
After spending the last year restoring my '91 Yo Eddy (I am the original owner) and enjoying using it as an urban assault type of thing, I have decided to shelve the derailleurs and slicks and set it up as a singe speed. I'd like to use it on local single track, which here in Florida means twisty, rooty and flat, and occasionally sandy. I have the original rigid fork, so I'd like something up front that is pretty big and cushy without creating clearance problems. For what it's worth, the bike is a resto-mod of sorts, as I am using some vintage stuff like XTR900 hubs and brakes, original Bontrager rims, Kore stem, etc. but new riser bars, levers and crank and a non-original pearl white paint job. In other words, the tires do not have to be period specific.
Anyone have a tire suggestion that will fit the bill?
