Better shot...

Here's my DeSalvo with the dirt wheels on. The rims of course aren't as nice and match'y-match'y with the orange King bits, but they do the job. Trying a 40 in the front and a faster 35 in the rear...though I hear Lost and Found is pretty rough this year so I hope I don't miss the larger back tire...

Thanks, man. Your painted camo fork is what inspired me to paint mine. A guy at my LBS and I decided to "experiment". Plaid it is.

That must have taken an incredible amount masking and layer. Well done.
