It looks like my old Fuji. It has 451 wheels. Winter tires won’t fit but its a nice Minivelo at a good price. I do have my Lombardo 2000 Minivelo frame with all the parts that I’m thinking about maybe selling.
what is the link for the fuji or similiar one-like. Yes well if I cannot find a solution buying silverock frame is a cheap solution as well.

Well I thought if the bike has canti-lever brakes, there is more potential of reaching the rim but I could be wrong.
