Hi John,I guess the Basic would have been mine, I suppose it is still in good nick for its age. Cycletreads fitted Michelin T63 front and rear for me. The tyres worked well on the Kaipara 200, I even managed to get on and off the beach without tipping over and that includes a lengthy run over a sand dune. I will probably stay away form the beach from now on, the sand and salt are hard on the bike and the 2 hour cleaning job that followed was hard on me. I was thnking along the lines of a day ride for you and maybe a three day ride for anyone else who is keen. My parents are coming this year, so we've booked a bach in Hihi for 10 days. We will most likely take the bikes up, this could be an opportunity to explore a little bit.
