Back was bugging me and I had a bunch of other stuff on my plate but tinkered away on the bike for a little bit... discovered the wheels are 26 by 1 3/8 and the nicer looking spokes make me think that the wheels may have been rebuilt although that was not mentioned.

The new back tyre is not lumpy and a new old trigger shifter is working a lot more crisply that the original... will have to find one of these as I'd like to keep the bike as original as possible.

Went for a another ride after I did the work and gave her another sip of oil to flush that hub... she is buttery smooth and has a pretty unbelievable ride which is all due to those plusher tyres and that B66 saddle.
