Tell him to put the cream tires back on it. I think it looked so much better.

the cream tires seemed a bit bright. I even thought about the clay colored or whitewalls(which is what the bike would normally have come with). but finding matched rubber tires-pedals-grips the same shade of 'clay' didn't seem to happen. by going with black rubber components throughout-which 95+% of the bikes were in that period-it toned down the bike so your attention/eye was drawn to seeing the bike's features-the tank-seat-speedo-lights!

Black tires all the way......

John's clay chain treads look great with Ranger brown. But I feel ya on matching the grips and pedals. Been looking for some with no luck...
