If you can keep them together you'll have a pair of his & her folders. When you air up the tires and take them for a ride for the first time, don't get too far away from the home because old tires have a tendency to blow out pretty easily.
ya. i figured they were pretty old. i am also certain they have 20 inch wheels. if i had been smart i would have grabbed a couple extra sets of tires for it. scrapped quite a few tires that looked almost brand new. i took a whole bunch of aggressive 26 inch tire for my mountain bikes but never thought about grabbing some for the new bikes but we were in a bit of a rush. could have also made more money if we could have had a bit more time. 2 truck loads of bikes to the scrap yard only earned us $170.
