Does the bike come with broad tires (i.e. 32" girth as against the narrow tires common to road bikes whose girth varies from 18" to 23")? Is it easy to convert to a flat handle bar? I did see a few customer images of the same GMC Denali with flat...

it does come with road tires [700cc skinny tires]. broad tires may not fit flat handle bars: if you have the funds and time I'm 100% sure the handle car can be changed like any other bike. my advice, do not look at the price, get something you like from the start

I purchased new tires for my wife's Schwinn Beach Cruiser but they were the 26" x 2.125 and they were a perfect fit for the wide rims. I would also suggest getting new tubes.

Please? Anybody? If anyone is 5 feet tall or around there and has used this machine or others (418, 431, 438) in this line, please drop a line here and tell me what you think of it? I am particularly interested in what kind of reach it takes to grip the handlebars while striding. Does it bend you forward to reach them or can you do so in relative comfort without straining your back? ANY input is greatly appreciated!!

These tires are a "hybrid" of sorts. The sidewall of the tires reads (40-622) 700X38C. The width is approx 1 1/8"; my son's mountain bike tires measure 2 1/4"... a road bike tire is approx 7/8". The tread pattern is more of a v-tread design with a tread depth of about 1/16"; a mountain bike tire is knobby with a depth of 1/4"... a road bike is a straight tread with a depth of 1/32" or less. These tires are suitable for surfaces which are paved, packed cinder/dirt or low-cut grass. I wouldn't consider doing any serious "off-roading" with these tires due to their relatively narrow width and shallow tread depth. I took a couple of pictures; but, I can't upload them in this forum. I hope this helps.

Max tire width depends on your rims and your tube. There are a number of charts out there that I find a little confusing that will tell you widths your rims will support. If in real doubt talk to your local bike shop (though they can also be a little confusing). I went with the 2 inch version because I used them on a hard tail mountain bike and was replacing ~2 inch off road tires so I knew they'd work, now I'm on 1.85 inch tires just because one of these blew and I needed a replacement.

Hey Joel- The size I bought was 31.5" or so, across from the center of the wheel (tread to tread) just use a tape measure or yard stick. the tires were 7:50 X 16 this crosses with a 235 X 85 R 16-- they are darn near the same! a 255 is a little fatter/wider/lower and a 70 series is less tire, rim to tread but the wheel is 2" taller to start with so it is best to just measure it yourself as there are many sizes of tire covers. just keep going down the lists until you find your size. hope this helps. Linseed oil also helps the rubber if it sits all winter. (the tires I have is what is best in snow) Nick W.

This bike has mountain tires... 2.5 inch... the 29 inch tires give it a more comfortable ride... for off road I suggest the tubless kit... good luck.

Joy, I gambled on the large based on my grip and they work great. The diameter of the handle bar was not an issue as they just slip on and bolt tight to hold in place. The gear lever just butted up against the inside of the grip so no issues there. It took some adjusting on the gear levers and grips to get them just right but after a few test rides I got them where they were comfortable. Hope this helps.

700c's are a continental size for road bikes. They are the same size a 29ers.Never seen a road bike with 26" before in the UK. They are normally 700c. Best check the size again on the side of the tyre. Also important to get the right width. Too narrow and you will still get punctures. I've just refitted mine after sanded down one end so there is no longer a 'square edge' as it caused a puncture.

height of handle bar is 32 inches up to 41.5 inches, wheel are 7.5 inches, leg cushion is 19 inches up to 25inches. handle bar and leg cushion are easly adjustable. if primary use is going to be on gravel i would recommand the all terrian wheel. hope this helped

On the bike I got, the tires were an issue. They are 700 X 37 or close to that. The tread is thin and prone to flats. I had 2 from thorns on the same trip. Bought tire liners and thorn resistant tubes which have helped. Definitely not mountain bike tires.

My daughter's bike (she's 30 y.o.) is a 24" road bike with some uncounted number of speeds and skinny tires. It stands quite securely. Also, I assembled it so that bikes would use both sides, to reduce crowding.

I wish I could give an exact answer but this seems to be only listed by few bike manufacturers. SO my research says most bikes are good for 250 pounds to 300 pounds. A chart I looked at said the same for tires. THe tires on this bike are supposed to carry 50 to 75 lbs. of air. My wife is 190 and I set the pressure to 50 lbs which seems to ride fine. Just my opinion but I think you would be fine maybe add more air, also these tires are 700 x 38 which are not real skinny. Hope this helps.!

For riding in snow (not ice - yikes!), the skinnier tire the better. I've ridden my 28mm Conti 4-Seasons in a slushy mix before, and they handled pretty well. I think mostly because they're very narrow for 28's...

The only part of the frame/wheel assembly that is wider than 22" would be at the back wheels, where the width measures roughly 23-24". Every other measure of width (handlebars, front wheels, etc.) is 22" or less.
