Need help with Old Peugeot
I just picked up a cool old peugeot road bike for a good price on criagslist. It needs tires and I am not sure the exact ones it needs. Could anyone recommend a good commuter tire and tube set available online? Thanks very much for any help.

I am glad to join the Cuda group I guess. Same name I use on every forum.
I assume the serial number is on the very bottom of the frame. If so the number is 2293709. I am not sure on the wheel size. I assume you measure diameter but I am a newb to bike stuff. Help?

The bike is white with Type II decals according to the site you sent. Thanks for that. There are currently no tires on the bike so I can't check the sidewall for size like on a car. I believe the wheels are for 27in tires but was hoping for some confirmation before I purchase. Thanks for all of the comments so far.

+1 I have a set of Panaracer Paselas and I like them. They have more of a tread than I had expected, according to Sheldon Brown treads on road tires are not ideal either.
