I'm soo bummed to because just Saturday I flatted on a freshly mounted 1990 vintage Veloflex tub

That tire waited 20 years to be mounted and ridden and it didn't even last one ride. But unlike the Titanic this one can be rescued with new tube and base tape.
Oh yeah and I'll take them before you throw them away.

I hope you misread and are talking about tubulars!
