freespirit dynasty 12 speed

[thom]

On my early morning trip to the local flea market, I found this. It's a Korean built Freespirit Dynasty 12 speed.It was cheap and has a new pair of Kenda 27 1/4 gumwalls on it. I bought it for less that the price of the tires. I intended to use the tires on another bike, but I adjusted the pressure and rode it some. It rides so well I'm hesitant to rob the tires off of it now.I gave it a quick wipedown after I found out how much I like it. The handlebar tape is black with specks in it. It was driving me nuts trying to get the specks off until I realized that the tape is made that way.

I left the bike sitting in the sun , where the pics were taken earlier today and came in the download the pics. After 20-30 minutes I heard what sounded like a high powered rifle.The rear tube had exploded and blew the tire off the rim. The tire seemed to be ok,so I put in a new tube and rode it some more.Odd thing though, the tire and rim had a lot of wobble in it after I replaced the tire, as in needing truing. I spent 45 minutes, more or less ,tightening and loosening spokes and got it running straight again.
