Bikes: Cuevas & Cimmaron are my full time riders, small MB-3 and large Competition GS are my sometimers

I was going for an afternoon ride yesterday and thought maybe I will ride something different, opened the garage and surveyed the options, thought maybe my '85 Trek 410. I haven't gotten to doing any real work or rides on this bike since I bought it. I had done a quick adjustment on the brakes and derailleurs and taken a couple of short rides in the process. Pulled the bike out, checked to see if the tires were aired up and then noticed the label, Tires are original equipment! - 39 years old. They take 65psi without a crack or pop and don't look bad but that bike went back into the garage until it gets some new rubber. When I leave my house I often bomb a big hill in a bike lane that is more often that not laden with glass, bolts/screws & random metal, and giant spiky dried palm fronds adding tires hanging on by their last thread seems one step too far.
