Front Tire

Hi! Just checked out your chopper. Is your front tire on backwards ? Just bought a Schwinn chopper today and the tire is mounted w/ the arrow pointing towards the front on the tread. I was wondering if it made a difference in the ride or grip on the road surface. I really like your seat post. Mine has the stock seat set-up. I need to be able to sit farther back like yours. I ordered some hi-rise handlebars today similiar to yours but w/o the grooves in the middle. Those look like the type for a single clamp riser. Mine are for the two clamp riser like the original ones. I considered using my old bars from the '70s but the grooves were too wide in the center of the handlebars and the flare from 7/8" to 1" would have warped the clamps.Can you tell me where you got your seat post? I haven't read too much yet. I don't have a lot of time to. I work too much.Alrighty then, talk at ya later, thanks. J.B.
