And a sick beater actually

This bike is great fun, with some good parts, Identiti 26" forks, Halo Freedom Disk rims to System Ex hubs, the frame is a Raleigh mountain bike frame stripped down raw (showing some surface rust at the moment), its got some 4.5" rise BMX bars with the cross bar, then some generic cranks, stem and seatpost. Also got some track ends lying around somewhere that I meant to weld on. Oh and some odyssey pedals with holdfasts and an FSA pig headset
EDIT: I have no idea what its worth though

Stop trying to imitate though.
Genuinely awesome cyclists have minimal clearance just by riding so much and so fast that the centrifugal force of the spinning wheel expands its diameter. Most hipsters have to change their wheels every 6 months or so due to it getting stuck in the fork after passing the point of "minimal clearance".
I haven't experienced this... Am I a bad cyclist?

Take a wheel off, hold it upright on the floor, wedge some toes between the spokes, put some weight on them to hold it down. Grasp the top of the wheel in line with your toes and with a straight back pull as hard as you can. After doing so for a few seconds rotate the wheel by one spoke and repeat. After two or three full rotations you should start to see a difference. I got an extra inch in diameter with mine... can be a bit harder to get tyres on and off though, I recommend getting some tyre leavers once you've done it
