I posted this in the General forum.
So I have found the perfect bike that fits my needs and fits within my price range. The breezer freedom city bike. The only problem is that I like balloon tire bikes mostly for aesthetic reasons and the only other bike that I have fallen in love with was the Retrovelo bikes but they are way way out of my price range and I don't know if they can be shipped to Michigan. So I was thinking if I could just swap out the 1.5 inch tires for 2.35 inch tires I would be happy. However I am not sure if the bike will provide enough clearance for tires that fat. If not are there any other bikes out there that are less than $600 that have fenders and a rear rack and can fit schwalbe's fat frank tires?
Thanks
