The larger size with 18″ wheels didn’t exist at the time.

I keep it in my garage as a spare for quick rides around the neighborhood.

It was a great design when it first came out, and it still is.

I use this feature all the time . I am not sure whether this was intentional as part of the design but i really like it

…i’d hope that wouldn’t be a main selling point but cha never know…brushed aluminum looks functional but the painted ones are tre’ cool…

…other than that, the solstice is here & as of sunday, the days are getting incrementally longer, yeah !…so happy winter solstice & good holidays to james & all the loyal posters…
…this is a wonderfully enjoyable & informative site…
…cheers…

Gee I can’t imagine who “anonymously” left that comment. To answer your question though, thanks to the small diameter front wheel, toe overlap with my giant shoes was not a problem.

Fritz, thanks for the well wishes. You have a great 08 as well.
