[MENTION=190941]jimmuller[/MENTION], The Peugeot is lovely. Such a nice color, too.
Re the flat tubular, do you not carry or have you not tried sealant? In cases like this, a tiny hole in the middle of the thread...clean the puncture, a few squirts of sealant, pump it up, and off you go again. No hassle with tire removal, no worrying whether the spare will roll during rest of the ride, back on the road in a jiffy, plus time and money saved not having to replace and re-glue the tire. As a regular tubular rider, I consider sealant a must, and one of the great modern improvements to my own personal cycling enjoyment.
