I can’t quite tell if it was a slick or if it is a perfectly worn down knobby tire. The tread along the edges leads me to believe the latter.[/QUOTE
I agree, looks like a worn down knobby to me also. Maybe someone put the bike upside down, cranked the hell out of the rear tire and held a sander to it
Just talked again to the original owner, Fred. He confirmed the original knobby and BFG knobby both Fell victim the the skid mark challenges of 1960’s Chicago boyhood.
Fred was riding on the bars with his friend in control of the ride. As young boys always will do, you hop curbs when your buddy is on the bars! Fred slipped from the bars and his foot caught in the front wheel. Bent spokes and rim along with bent pedal. These were the replacements.
