I have always loved the red/gold theme.
Makes me think of of David Bailey.

How well does the tyre clear the swingarm at the front.
Can the wheel be pushed fully to the front and the tyre not touch the swingarm / white plastic guard.
Does it have to be kept back to avoid wearing out the white plastic guard.

I would think that the rear wheel wouldnt make a difference in clearance if its a 19 inch because the 18 inch really isnt smaller the side wall is just bigger, the 19 makes up that 1 inch by taking out some of the sidewall
