i have the chance to get a marin larkspur 7005 series for pretty much next to nothing. i currently have a SE DRAFT, while it's a good bike, it is a little bit too much road only or bike path for me. i like to jump off curbs and cut through yards/alleys/etc. and having gears and good brakes is pretty damn nice lol
here is a pic of the closest thing i have found that looks like the marin i am talking about
the one i have is all stock i am guessing, cause the bars and tires look a little different from the one pictured. i want to go ahead and get it but i only have one concern: i currently weigh 220 pounds, if i keep the tires aired up properly can i jump off curbs and stuff without getting a flat(snakebite)? i know i cannot go crazy on off-road trails, i just wanna be able to ride through neighborhoods quickly and not end up with flats all the time. the tire size is 700 35c, they are pretty good sized i think but i know you guys will have some good input
thanks
