just got this for 30 dollars today off craigslist from thee nicest lady i have ever met. i talked to her for about a hour while going through various tools she was selling and by the end of it she gave me a kiss on the cheek and wanted me to come back soon.
i took it for a spin on her blacktop drive way and while i was going down the tires slipped when i turned to the left slightly. i was able to put my left foot down on the ground swing my right foot over the bike and made the bike do a wheelie so i didnt eat poop.
after that mishap i looked at the tires which i am assuming are made by firestone? they are really hard rubber and smooth with 3 or 4 grooves running around them. not much grip i noticed. any idea why the tires are like that? they dont seem very worn at all.
