Or are you talking about the tires from the text you quoted in your post.
There are replica tires available too. They use a hard rubber tire and a fake valve stem. I believe the go for about $75 each.
A correct restoration for this bike will cost $3-5,000.00 About a $1000.00 for the frame, $1-2000.00 per plating and polishing, There is going to be lots or labor...
