Yeah I don't know too much about the bikes I've got. My dad found them when at the dump years ago. I found very little info online about the company "the realm" other than it was a surfer who had started a bike company or something like that. Tried finding other pics of these bikes and I saw...

i understand what you're saying, that's why i inquired about the Schwinns to see if they're even worth my time, since I know basically nothing about bike tires other than they're rubber and round. KRad is likey what I'll end up with, but want to weigh all my options first. Just this month I've...

thanks bicycle808, that was some very informative comparison info. after looking more, I narrowed it down to the KRad ($26) and Duro Berm Master ($25). I also found the DMR Moto RT, which look very very close to the KRad, but are more expensive. Holy Rollers are a little out of my price range...

Hello to all, I'm Brian. I'm here to share and enjoy the awesome knowledge this site offers. Also, I work in Davis CA, so I guess it's only natural to own a bike. At work, I ride a ratty old bike that was donated to my building - an old Schwinn 3spd from around the 70s. It's now a...
