Big wheeled Dax.

Post by Boo » Fri Dec 02, 2011 1:32 pm

I've seen a few custom Cubs converted to use Dax / Chaly size wheels.
Being into going round corners and stuff I quite like the 17" wheels and I'd wondered if anybody had ever gone the other way, fitting Cub wheels to Dax frame..
The wait is over. :D

I'm not a fan of the little wheeled bikes, that looks way cooler to me .......... and more pratical.

I think it's got so much style,.... somehow it looks right .... it was meant to be ...... OK in Ireland perhaps, trouble here might be a little matter of a number plate, a back light, front mudguard, a chain guard :? ...... burnt ankles?
