hello
well, not what i was expecting when i removed the front tyre, not 1 not 2 but 3 repair patches...
i have a set of avon roadriders to go on her [ with new inner tubes ]...and my garage/shed isn't carpeted...as i don't have a garage/shed, but the sitting room has a carpet  |

That’s shocking.
A perfect example of how these bikes were sometimes run on a shoe string budget.

hello ok, one wheel down, one to go.. the front tyre that came off was 100/90/19 and has been replaced with a shiny new avon roadrider mk2 90/90/19 no real dramas removing the old tyre and fitting the new one, although the new tyre took a few attempts to seat correctly, just got to sort the rear wheel out now

hello all done now...the rear tyre is a avon roadrider mk2 100/90/18 both tyres have new michelin airstop inner tubes fitted, so she should be good to go for a few miles at least..
