Great bike! I had one of these in blue a few years back (pretty sure I sold it on here). Weighed a tonne and yep, didn't stop, especially in the wet with two people on board.
I remember tinkering with the brakes and somehow it started to play nicely, back wheel tended to skid a bit.
Regarding tyres I'm pretty sure I had some Schwalbes with white walls - they rode well and looked great.
