Tire sizes - scratching my head

[gkeep]

Try could switch out the rims with some iso 590 (26x1 3/8") from a 60s or 70s 3 speed like an old Raleigh. You'd have more tire choices.

13/16” is a fairly common size for seat posts (in inches).

Maybe in the States. Nobody in Canada stocks them. The problem is the international shipping costs.

Is there no Canadian based eBay?

Jeeze, I just went to the Canadian eBay with a search for Schwinn seat post. 250 items and all but four items were not from the US. Two Canadian, one Puerto Rico and one from Japan.

I did the same search. The 2 Canadian ones we’re for seat post lights

You guys up in Canada sure have it rough when trying to get Schwinn parts. Didn't Schwinn export bikes to Canada?
