Well a quick update here. Went to the LBS and picked up a small bag for under the seat, and some tires. The tires are not slicks, but more of a semi-slick I guess. Still have knobs, but nothing like my stock tires. They go fairly flat at the top so they should help alot while still providing some traction on loose stuff I think.
Heres a cell phone shot of the bike now. Nothing special by any means but just looking at it makes me wanna ride lol
Is it more comfortable to take the stem on the handle bar out so that it sits lower?
