Like, if you can find some 5/8" aluminum tubing later on, it's lighter than the steel you have for handle bars right now, and fairly easy to make decent bends around an old bike rim. You might find it free, too.

I'm not nearly as concerned about the weight of it as I am the RR. The wheels are 24" and Walmart doesn't carry that size street. I will go to K-mart of maybe a local bike shop and look around for thinner/smoother tires. The ones one it are pretty luggy. *is that a word? lol
It is an old Walmart bike, so i'm not sure about all the bearings, i'll probably go through the bike in the next week and see what all is worn. It does squeak sometimes though.
The 3 mile trip was REALLY hard, and I thought/think I am in good shape. So there may be something to this RR thing.
