It's Soltydog's bike.

Mismatched tyres on purpose? Well yes... (HINT: look at the forum logo....)

Oh yeah

Odd tyres ..... no way......

That would also explain why the cycle has been photographed from the "wrong" side. The handlebars show cc.

brilliant!
Is CC soon going to offer its own bicycle range for sale?

T

Having seen the CC bike in the flesh (mostly following it) I like it as it has been designed to mimic the CC logo bike and have different tyres. A designer bike, dahling.
The bike in the OP is just a bike with odd tyres.

I don't see what's wrong with odd tyres myself.

Matching tyres? A luxury I've never afforded. Mind you, one of my bikes doesn't even have matching sized wheels.

Is that an old school San Marco saddle? I've got one just like it but its worn and not by me unfortunately.

hmmm, i'm not getting these coloured tyres at all, they look weird. interesting paint jobs on the frames is fine but some things are just not meant to be, like non-black tyres.

it's like pink shirts on blokes, it's plain wrong!

 

[automatic_jon]

Reading a cycling blog recently (who's name will come to me at some point I'm sure) it recommended mismatched tyres and such like as theft deterrents, making your bike look less attractive to potential tea-leaves.
Which is why mine is currently 'patched' with all sorts of duct tape.

I love coloured tyres, black are such a dull cop out

yellow front and red rear at the mo, the blue ones are nasty though, they don;t seem to be able to get a nice blue on rubber

coloured tyres are faster, fact
