We think you'd like gumwall tires here.
yes it was the Quill Stem Bolt, I have no idea how he got it unstuck but he had called me and told me he was actually able to unscrew it without having to drill into the bolt and ruin it.

And I might still consider Gumwall tires. But I could not seem to find any in stock when I was looking.

Kalloy AI092 Tourist Bar 70mm Rise 25.4x580mm Silver


Here's how they look on an upright conversion bike:

Those look great!!! I still have to decide which riser bars to go with, i bought cruiser bars but not sure if I like those or not, so I may still look for another type of riser bar.

You need to shop online. Assuming they're 27 inch rims, Google search "27 pasela" and select the shopping tab. Also check ebay. Sometimes, you can find a deal on pairs, so search ebay for "27 pasela pair" or "27 pasela 2."

Will these fenders fit

Hi everyone so I really like this Copper colored hammered fenders but they are 700cx 35mm will these fit on my Schwinn that has 27 x 1 1/4 tires?
