Finally got my kevlar tires from Amazon. The slime inner tubes I got from Walmart. Installed the inner tube on the back wheel, and the outside tire, and got it placed on the bike.
The second tire I managed to puncture the new inner tube with the plastic crowbar (how is that possible?). So I had to use the old inner tube from the back tire (still functional), and put it inside the new tire and get it to the front.
Both tires are inflated now to 40 psi. I just need to take it out for a spin. I have a new seat that I got from Nellis Auction for $10, an Amazon return. These thick seats are minimum $30 at Walmart. So that was a GREAT deal!!
Unfortunately I had already put my bike in the garage, so I will have to install the seat tomorrow. That should be easier than the tire installation.
The bike stand I got from Amazon as well, it was inexpensive, and seems to hold this bike very well.
Here's a shot of my bike bag that I created from my own pattern. The bag is serving me well. This is some cheap chrome tan leather, almost like PU leather. But it's held up...
