24 miles on the Knight this morning and all went well .
The seat cluster still amazes me.

Very interesting thread, thanks. The top eyes & seat cluster are something else.
The tyre size should be on it's side, look for numbers like 28 - 622. The first number is the width of the tyre and the second is the diameter. The replacement tyre must have exactly the same diameter but the width can be slightly different. If you are fitting a wider tyre then just make sure there is enough room in the forks for it.I'm really not sure where to start and the wheel rim measure around 24" dia (ie side to side); what size therefore are the wheels?
The original chainring on biggs682's Knight was a TA Cyclotourist. I see it was replaced in the refurbishment but cannot believe you threw it away. Should you want to resuscitate it some spares and inner rings are available on eBay and here:

Well done on a fine refurb of a very special bike.
