My choice was down to 2 or 3....until this vision appeared!

Don't see how that CAN be bested.

In theory you should be right, but I can see the drop bars and red tyres working against it. Speculating of course but as a drop bar fan and having followed our drop bar thread I can see how opinion is divided. I think those red tyres suck but this is were I find out that CC dyed those personally with his blood as he hand carved the tread.

I'm a member 8)

I love that Indian, and I love the red tires. What brand are they, and are they from that period or re-issue?

Lol - it is a crowded club! :P

The tires are Cyclepro Snakebellys and are period correct. Sadly they are BMX cruiser tires which means they are a fortune. I have a yellow set for my Golden Breezer that I will build up one of these days. I think the red works on this bike (and echos the red tires Jacquie Phelan ran on her race Cunningham Otto, which were also snakebellies.)

Nice!
Yes, all the red tires from those years would've been bmx cruisers, I imagine, and as such cost a ton now. I picked up a 1983 Fat Chance, and then bought a set of red bmx 26x2.125 from that era, but like the thread pattern on your set better. Thanks

Found a pic of that one:
