These are Compass Rat Traps 26x55. They are very nice ride so far. Nice and wide, but very awesome ride. On Monday, June 20, 2016 at 10:31:26 AM UTC-4, bluebirdonabicycle wrote: > > What brand and size on the tires? > > On Monday, June 20, 2016 at 9:42:50 AM UTC-4, Philip Kim wrote: >> >> Picked

Don't care about the condition. Just need something to hike up the bars on my cheap Specialized Rock Hopper. Price? Cheap. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, se
