Im guessing this bike is all original and seemingly never or barely ridden.
Yeah, that's kinda how I have my tires, for road riding on a MTB. I carry panniers & a rack on the back, so want a fat-ish tire there (using a 1.95 for now), but it steers much better with a 1.5 on the front. Obviously, the back wants to be tougher, to handle the extra weight. 👌
