yeah, but it's probably 1 1/4 (inches) which is a pretty standard size. if they're holding air, that's your first good sign. (though, like somebody said, new tubes ($5 each) is a must and new tires is probably a good idea, though there may be nothing wrong with the tires you have.)
how is the chain? what is the gearing setup and where are the shifters? (downtube?)
