Hello,
I've got a LOVELY old dawes fixed wheel bike (which i'll try and post a pic of soon). However the tyres on it are in pretty poor shape. It's got 27 x 1 1/4 wheels, but the only replacements I seem to be able to find are with amber walls. It came with some lovely old whitewall ones and I'd like to replace like for like.
does anyone know a place I might be able to pick some up? I've checked ebay and several bike shops but the only white wall ones seem to come in 20" or 26".
is there a vintage bike parts shop anywhere, if not, should I try and open one?
