Bikes: 1986 Alan Record Carbonio, 1985 Vitus Plus Carbone 7, 1984 Peugeot PSV, 1972 Line Seeker, 1986(est.) Medici Aerodynamic (Project), 1985(est.) Peugeot PY10FC

Check the tires really close as they might be ozone rotted if the bike was stored anywhere near a sizable electric motor in a basement (Heater/Airconditioner fan motor, for example.). If you see many minute cracks anywhere on the surface of the tire, then they will be suspect and can blow out on you if you ride them. New tires are much cheaper than a trip to the emergency room any time.
