I am guessing that I could not post due the photos I wanted to show of the bike I wanted an opinion of it's value. I will need to start posting questions.

Out in the western suburbs of Chicago where I live, there are some great bike trails (Prairie path and it connecting trails).

Not sure why the bike world has moved from narrower tires to monster tires. I guess I am old school and think you should have a lighter bike with narrower tires are easier to ride. We have no mountains or tall hills in the area.

Thank you for your insight
