I found a set of tan wall, white tread, k-lytes in my LBS' bargain bin. I was pretty stoked.

am i? it annoys me that companys can make a ton of money just by printing their logo onto the most generic parts and outsell other companies that actually put work into designing and coming up with new shit (stranger more than cult, cult try a bit even if its dumb like bus handrail frames)
LeonLikesToRock:
It's a totally valid point that you don't like that generic shit is more popular than some more out there/innovative designs - I'm 100% behind you with that one. It's the question of money that I disagree with. That slice of pie is smaller and smaller. I'd find it hard to believe that anyone would bother putting in work to compete for a place in a flooded market with no interest in the sport. There are easier ways to make money. Even though I'm not into Stranger I don't think it is just about the $$$$$, they seem into what they do and try some new stuff product wise. If everything we see on TCU made $$$(sweet dollaz bro) every kid would be on a Stranger and wearing an OSS shirt.
Cult is obviously very popular but I think it is well deserved and not to be put on the same level as more generic companies. I can totally get why you're not into it - it's not for everyone.
So how about them tyre sizes?
