The 65 mm rims are perfect combination for three and seven speed shimano hubs, create the beavy look and have no problem with chainline clearance. The 3" tires have a better overall performance as on the wider 80 mm rims. For 80-100 mm rims we advice to use the 4 1/4 tires. For seven speed no stickshifter available.
Basman 347
To have the look of the 263 without the costs is possible. Simple remove the fenders of a 107 SL model and replace the tires
with 26 x3 tires of your choice. A 13-16" apehanger style handlebar and you have the looks for about 1100,00 euro. (pricing july 2009) The 47 mm rims are standard on a Basman 107 SL and the 65 mm rim might be more attracting the 47 mm rims already give the tire that extra wide look. The build up above with moonhandlebar instead of apehanger. The Basman 347 is the beast on any cruise.
