Also silver rims go with the silver seatpost, stem and cranks (imho)

I know it's just my opinion and it's your bike so your choice but coloured tyres always make a bike look cheap to me.

All opinions but I think exactly the opporsite and coloured tyres make a bike look more premium lol

I think it’s a fine line and has to be the right combination hence trying various tyres/wheels

Orange is an awkward colour as it clashes with skinwalls which is my usual tyre.

If you were going to build one with M952 and one with M739 which way round would you do it?

The way you currently have it. M952 on the 98, M739 on the 97

Black or tanwall tyres for orange bike. Rare frame should be the stand out

Tyres are a totally another frustrating topic.

The orange clashes badly with so many tyres that it causing headaches.

I’ve had green Wildgrippers , tan walls , IRC , and black on it so far. None I’m 100% happy with. Next to try it something a little more outside my comfort zone but let’s see

Im also torn on wheels for the 97. I’ve got silver x517 on silver Hope hubs or Crossmax. I was trying to keep to a silver theme but silver rims might just be too much.

Nice. The green and red works so well.

I’ve got some middleburn chainrings in red which match well too. However…. I think I may swap the bomber out for a SID in black - let’s see when they arrive
