Colin?

I have my father-in-laws Collegiate from the same era. It has the Sport chainguard but also chrome fenders and upright bars. They may have been changed at the dealer. It is a small frame size so I cleaned it up for my daughter for when she comes home from college.
When you look for tires, the original size was 26x1 1/4, but most of the shops only stock the 26x1 3/8 size. Make sure you are getting the 597mm S6 bead, NOT the 26x1 3/8 590mm, which is for most British 3 speed bikes.
