Bikes: A couple old Schwinn Cross bikes , couple Specialized , a few Cruisers

I continue to change things on my C1’s to try to make them the best riding and good looking bikes I can make them.
Today , they got new tires .
I was a fan of my Maxxis Hookworms 26x2.5’s but they are heavy tires , almost 3 pounds each . I switched over to Michelin Protek 26x1.85 .
I ordered black tires , but got the ones with the reflective stripe . I can live with it .
I like ride of the new tires and can feel the difference in pedaling effort . This will help me climb hills and accelerate quicker .
I also found a saddle that works for me . Planet Bike ARS Standard . I don’t like the advertisement painted all around the saddle, but again I can live with it . Function and comfort over looks .
I swapped the wheels on the Bark Brown C1 to a set of green anodized .
