In any case only real issue is it was sold back in the day when 27" wheels were the standard. In fact it's sporting Avocet 27x1 1/8 slick tires right now. They look good but won't really consider riding on 20ish(probably closer to 25+ really) year old tires. So before I consider looking at another bike anyone have suggestions for a decent 27" tire I could use?? Not wanting to break the bank either.
Thanks in advance,
Define breaking the bank?
Unless you got a private message, did you get an answer about your tires?? I go to a bike shop and let them put my tire and tube on, yes it is easy, but I get lazy...but Im 72 and ride a few times a week weather permitting...I was at 193, now at 168 and still rolling, u will be fine unless you have medical problems,,we ride mostly flat areas at a college campus,,easy riding and great fun.
