Recently aquired a '71 Steel Tank 125. It came with a 19" front wheel. Is this stock? How would a 21" wheel work as far as handling and trim? Thanks for any help. PS I had one of these in college several years....ahem, decades ago. Rick Nicholson

Rick,
The Pentons came with 21 inch front wheels. I have seen people put 18 or 19 inch front wheels on the bikes for flattracking. The 21 inch front whell makes the bike much better handling on the trail and also for MX and will fit right on providing all of the front end is original. I hope this helps.
