Cool bike. That tire size is still alive and well in the third world.
Schwalbe make the Delta Cruiser in that size for just a tad over $20. Even available in cream, if you're into that.

Those are clincher 28 x 1-1/8. My wheels are wooden tubulars with the same nominal size. Thanks, though. Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Glossary Sa--So
That makes the bike even more unique.
Good luck with the restoration.

Geared up my Univega Gran Primeo again. It's fun fixed but funnerer with gears (I found some 8speed Dura Ace DT shifters and I had to use them immediately!) I guess if I'm going to keep a FG I need a frame I can't put gears on.

I'd probably go for some of the mellower CX tubulars. Challenge Griffo, maybe. $87 apiece or so.

Or these Tufos.

I have some DA DT shifters I've had for a while but haven't used. I should put them on the Scapin and see how many clicks they have. I guess I could just look up part number too, but...

These are 7402. The rear shifting isn't perfect so I will try Sheldon Brown's alternate cable routing

It's a mix of K's & X's which the owner thinks is good for confusion and prevent identification. So he can hit and run easily, but he doesn't realize that driving this in the wrong neighborhood is like owning a death warrant.

I bought a genesis for a midlife dose of beat em up games.

Reminds me of young Christmas and playing Sonic 2 on many a "sick" day from school. Also convincing my parents to let us rent Streets of Rage at the Blockbuster or West Coast Video. Way too many nostalgias right now, gotta go.
