I agree but it also wouldn't be what I want.


WW, the new tire is a vintage tread setup which has no front or rear bias like modern tires. The change will likely put the handling of the bike on par with typical fair made 50+ years ago. Having a vintage style tire up front dramatically adjusted the handling characteristics of the bike and I expect there will be a similar, albeit lesser, change when I do the rear.
