80s Raleigh Royal, or am I barking up the wrong tree...

Has the OP, who maybe hasn't been around for a while, got round to telling us whether he favours strsight or drop bars?

Thanks for the correction. Yes, silly me, suppose the tubes are the same.
Are tyres generally available in your average shop though or would you have to go online.

I do, by the way, and strangely, have such a bike - given to me by my late dad but never really ridden.

My LBS stocks them, Halfords sell them.

Haven't looked here in a while! Thanks for all the help! Especially @Blue Hills your advice has been great!

I prefer drops to flats, just for the range of positions. I like getting down close to the bike too going down hills!

 

[Blue Hills]

ah if you prefer drops I'll defer to other folks on here who know way way more than me on such things.

My comments on 90s hybrids all related to straight bars.

all the best, good luck, you will definitely get good advice on here.
