Here's the bike. I know it's a Coat King but it's in great shape. I mainly bought it for the tires and Persons saddle. I assume it's a newer bike. Just wonder how it got the old tires.

Tread looks new

Saddle is real nice just a little dirty

The last Carlisles were made in the early 80s, usually seen on Murray cruisers of the day. The molds still exist! There's a thread on the Cabe about them, the current owners of the molds aren't interested in making any. But, maybe whoever's making the new Chain Treads could get together with 'em! -Adam
