Here’s a shot from djangokill’s flickr collection titled Jewlian on Magnum, uploaded yesterday. I’m not sure where it was taken, but it caught my eye… that’s why it’s today’s “Photo of the Day”.
Much love for Gazelles here, too. That nice, broad tread negates most of the problems with skinny tires. I put Gazelles on everything I ride that will take them.
I'm still waiting for Michelin to start producing those airless tires, though.

See the halo? I think it's the second coming. The END IS NEAR!

I just love the looks of those little bikes. Great find.
Those tires are Michelin Gazelles. If it is possible to be infatuated by a tire, then I am. Those things are just cool.

Also, Magnums are totally not "little bikes."

HAHA! TIM! You stand corrected.
But, if Magnums are not "little bikes", then a Boss Hoss must be a school bus! :D

Did I say little? I meant tiny. Geeze, don't get so wound up.

Yeah, I think it's all a matter of perspective. In the world of mopeds it's pretty big compared to say… this:

That would make something like the Sachs Madass a cruiser.
