it's tough to tell (for me anyway) from just a picture. I'd likely stick with a balloon/cruiser tire.

I'm on the verge of buying one of these two and, uh....changing it. I'm really tempted to go with the Schwinn as the name carries more weight with me. (From "back in the day"...not sure it means anything any more though?) Anyone know any major differences between the two? Geometry, durability...
