What size tires? you shouldn't have to much to change ya may be able to size up without anything more than new tubes specially if it's got 26s on it

I used to ride my Mother's "Palm Beach" bike all over the Wiltshire Downs wonderful ride and sensible sized wheels not kiddy Mountain Bike style. The three-speed Sturmey-Archer gear was all that was needed. Nothing wrong with getting off and pushing or standing up on the pedals as necessary. I am sure it was lighter though than my children's mountain bikes of ten or so years ago.
I've got a GIANT 830 ATX, hard tail with adjustable suspension front forks, with the obligatory seat mounted tool pouch ( all the usual, including tubes, valves, tools + leatherman etc) MTB tires (australian roads are crap, so are the foot paths) shimano sis gears, orig 18 speed, dropped the outer sproket for better clearance over logs etc so back to 12 gears (not built for speed these days anyway) and have a bash guard to protect the sproket. I'll get some pics up, the beast has gone 12 years so far expecting another 12!
Bang on!
