New tires and tubes - Don't get crazy just get some cheap chicom replacements and ride...
You will probably find that now you will have to raise the handle bars about 1" to 2 " and lower the seat about 1/2" to 1" at first - This will take the pressure off that back of yours that is now 20 years older...
Remember that military guys usually are more beat up than they look - That means that bikes are a perfect way to get in a fair work out without the back-lash of pain and retribution...
Hey - After a few months of riding you will know exactly what kind of bike you want...
This ones a good starter...
As a military man know that you really don't need a bike shop - With Youtube and the forum your going to be able to do just about anything you need to that bike... Fun Fun Fun...
