Dime City Cycles over tyred CR

marco · May 19, 2014

Has anyone checked out the DCC CR with one sized 'over' on the alloy wheels?
Metzelers I think they are.
Anyone done the same and does it have any effect on handling?

Just had a read of that Marco they have gone bigger on the back tyre only to try and balance the look of the bike, I'm guessing that it would just make it a bit slower turning in which sems a bit weird as they have seemed to spend rather a lot of money on flash suspension.

But $50,000 for one of these??? Really??? They are good but not that good. Prefer our own Spirit of the 70's builders from Kent they have done some cracking Triumphs :upyeah:

Cheers

Think they went up a size on the front also as it runs so close the mud guard. 50k US seems a bit *cough* strong.
Seriously considering an SE CR along the lines of DCC but on a realistic budget.

Have a look at these ones I find them very useful for inspriation

Mmm...mouth watering stuff. The DCC CR was exactly what I pictured. Ace bars, Monza style filler, SE wheels, steel grey paint...nice rear set foot controls too. Damn those import duties!
