How much will two new bike tires and a seat cost?

Overnight in a sort-of bad area of Chicago, both of my bike tires and my seat were stolen off of my 7-moth-old Schwinn (at least the thieves were nice enough to leave the frame -- thanks u-lock!). So now I have to contemplate whether or not to get a new bike. What would be the ballpark cost to get this one up and running again? Like I mentioned before, it needs two new tires and a seat. Or should I just get a new one? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Also, for other Chicagoans: Any bike shop recommendations?|||Ralph





Always keep your bike inside, stand it up vertically in the corner of a room on its back wheel. Use a Ulock and a Schlage 6 ft x 5/8 inch cable lock (available at Lowe's).





If you mean rim, tire and tube. Then $75 per wheel. Seat from 2nds or used at $10 and up.

Tires: again, a wide range. At the low end, you can get cheap knobby tires at Wal-Mart for less than $10, cheap road tires at a shop might start at $20-25, and nice road tires could run $65+.





They took your tires but not your wheels? If they took your wheels too, you might as well get a new bike.And learn to lock your bike better!|||Sorry to hear it. Maybe it might be easier to get another bike. You also want to invest in a couple of high quality locks and make sure your wheels are all chained together, as mentioned above the back wheel on a bike is a target for thieves and with the quick release levers on them they're so easy to get off.|||I assume they took the rims also. (It would take a lot of time to remove the tires from the rims). If this is an inexpensive bike from Wal-Mart you would be better off buying a new bike. A good set of tires, tubes and rims aren't cheap!|||I'll assume they got the wheels + the tires. Google 'bicycle shop' and your zip code. If the prices come up higher than a new bike - get a new bike.|||prob the wheels


will cost a lot


may as well pick a new bike out


rear wheel is most expensive theftable single part





wle|||The seat on my current bike cost me $120. The tires cost $40 apiece. So... $200?
