Well, flat bars on the front and wider tires are not an option on the da Vinci Grand Junction which comes with 26 x 1.25 tires and downturn bars. It is the only model da Vinci sells that you have to take as it comes. So, we would have to replace the wheels, front bar, and shifters. The next model up is the In-2-ition mountain bike, which comes with a flat bar in the front and 26" x 1.5" tires. Does anyone have experience with that model? 1.5" tires might be fine on the smooth asphalt on top of the levee. But, wouldn't we be better off with 1.95" tires on our pothole filled roads?
