I agree with the none studded. I also found a longbike handles great in winter but with a load like ya said. also thats the second Steve Baure i've seen. I also had one like that but red. I found it at the curb. if I actualy try I could proberly get close to 20 bikes a night from garbage picking. poor bikes. Even if it's junk it dosn't need to be recycled the wrong way! nice bike though I love the color
