I had an ok bike for riding around town. It was a Schwinn hybrid that got stolen. Found out my mom had a bike stashed in her basement that she had apparently not ridden more than a few times. I'd guess she got it in the late 90's? It is a blue BCA bike "Rocky" America. The seat tube has a sticker that says Unilite 1430 CR-MO. Has other stickers such as USA. I've started riding it, but not in love with the knobby mountain bike tires. I'd prefer the smoother tires like on hybrids. I had the brakes adjusted and they work, but seem harder to stop than I'd like. I don't know if I can raise the handlebars to have a slightly more upright position. I rented a Marin Kentfield and am considering buying one, but wondering if this bike will do and can/should I just try modifying it a bit? I don't know if it has any collectible value. It is in great shape. Still has the identification number sticker and bike shop sticker on it. The original tires which are not worn. I could store it, sell it, or ride it. Any thoughts?
