Who removes a tyre before selling a bike?

Well you certainly wouldn't be able to cycle it home

I'm wondering what the 'other purposes' are.... sounds sinister...

Anyone know what the standard wheels are like on these? I'm looking to pick up some reasonable wheels cheap and this is pretty local for me.

... and yes, "other purposes" is a little worrying. What other purposes are there for a back tyre and innertube?

Take a look at this thread: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=77620

The Hardtrax was one up from the Rufftrax and one down from the Backtrax, and if you look carefully at the catalogue photos in that thread, you can just make out some details of rims and hubs for those two models...

Thanks John, help much appreciated!

Might see if I can pop and have a look at it before the auction ends.
