Okay, 20 of those 27 years the bike has sat in storage, but for the first 7 years I only had 1 flat with those Specialized tires and that includes a 4 month tour of Europe!!! I'm now wanting to get this bike (Alex Singer) back in shape and it's going to need new tires. I've been out of the bike world for so long now and I could use some help in finding new tires. I don't think I'll be riding it that much, and when I do it will be on bike paths and not streets.
1. So, what I'm wondering, have rim designs changed enough that it will be not easy/or easy to find tires to correctly fit this rim?
2. What tires should I be looking at for the little riding I will be doing. And of course, I don't want to spend to much.

PS. thanks for the links to Araya rims, I still wasn't able to find a matching blue logo, it looks like they've gone through a lot of logo changes.
