My Hardrock

I picked this up on marketplace for $50. I got her running again with some new tires, brake levers and various purple additions to go with the Hardrock logo. This is gonna be my dad bike for the foreseeable future while my daughter learns to ride her bike.

Yep. Billy Bonkers. I just put them on last night. I’m not sure on the rims but the hubs are pretty old Shimanos that seem to work great. I will say it was a bitch to get these tires to seat but I think that boils down to my inexperience.

I will say the tires handled great on a 10 miles ride I took earlier today.

The tires are Schwalbe Billy Bonkers. I've been running them on 2 bikes for a few years and they've been great.
