Quoted message said:Brittany Free Spirit 26" Made in China
As a fellow Free Spirit (brand) Brittany (model) owner, rock on!!! I ride
one of these on the rainy days. Full fenders, friction shifting, 10 friggin
speeds!!!!
The saddle is kinda harsh, though. I advise something more suited to your
special parts.
Whatever you do, don't sell it. It's worth far more to you as a townie
bike.
Please be aware, however, that these bikes come equipped with 26x1 3/8
tires. This means that the ISO diameter is 590mm. You cannot use
26x1.0/1.5/1.75/1.95/2.0/2.1/2.25/2.35/2.4 or any other decimal-number
designation tire on these rims. You must use the fractional-sized tire,
such as 26x1, 1 1/4, 1 1/8, etc.
Don't worry about all the other snobs on the group... your bikes are as
valuable as you make it. In other words, ride the [censored] out of them!
