1980 Super Letour 12spd & Century Tires

Just bought a 1980 "Chicago" Schwinn Super Letour 58cm 12 spd project bike

Will get pics up soon

Rims are Weinamann 27x1.25"

What tires would be good for training and riding a century on this bike,

Thanks
Eric i Cumming, Ga.

Thanks, once I get the rear deraillure and bent front spoke sorted out I'll try a set.

Any particular tubes reccomended that are less prone to flats ?

Eric

I use regular tubes -- it's better to get your flat protection from the tires than the tubes.
