I dig skin walls and am glad they are back. I dislike the look of black walled tires. I'm an old BMX'er and the saddest day was when all BMX went to black wall in the late 90's.

Makes sense. My old road bike was too large. It was a 56cm Colnago and never did I experience toe overlap. (That I can recall anyway)


My new LeMond is a 53cm and actually fits.

Maybe I have just never had this happen on any of my old road bikes, but does anyone have the problem of regularly rubbing the tips of their road shoes on the front tire?
