Well, some bikes are built as a design exercise.
So the intent is to convey a specific theme, or elicit a specific emotional response.
Beyond that there is no intent to serve any utilitarian purpose.

For example, if a designer/builder targets a Pro-Street and Top Fuel drag bike theme, obviously, a big tire (may be even a wheelie bar) is necessary.

Having said that, the theme needs to “make sense”….
Just hanging a big, out of proportion, tire on a any bike, makes no sense (to me anyway).

Lets face the truth. Those of you who have customers, you know this:
There is no relationship between the “ability to pay” - “propriety” and a “sense of style.”

Hell, look at Donnald Trump…………….

Nothings exceeds like excess. 2 years ago, everyone was clammoring for a 360 tire. Today, we have a hard time selling anything for a new build on a big tire frame. Who wants to spend too much money on a bike that is that hard to corner, let alone ride for recreation? Building a bike that is fun to ride is part of the current wave that I see and I think that it is a great part of getting back to basics. Instead of rolling sculpture, most of the builders that I meet want to build bikes that are functional, fun to ride and affordable.
