Take a look at this bike in bikepics.com  I am guessing the guy may have used the wheels of a T-bird sport, what a crazy set up, I love it.

That's possible. But TBS wheels are rare. It's more likely that he has re-spoked his front wheel with a 17' rim.





Have fun!

You should try it some time!!!,you'll be wondering how the hell you ever put with a 19" wheel barrow!!!,and even be able to use some decent rubber.

This is very similar to the wheels I have on mine, done in the winter of 1997/1998.

I had my hubs re-rimmed with (sadly now defuncked) Akront rims, then fitted with Bridgestone tyres, the speedometer was recalibrated to suit the 17" front wheel.

The difference is amazing and so much grip even in the wet!

Not a difficult conversion but very rewarding!

I'm just in the process of putting it back on the road after a rest.
