Generally every weekend I ride either a sat or sun with my bike buddy. And a couple weekends ago we were about 3 miles out when I had a flat on my Summertime Blues Ironmans rear tire. Usually after removing the tube keeping it lined with the tire and air it up yo see where the hole is, then check the tires same area. Problem is I could not feel or hear the air escaping due to traffic. So after checking and the inner and outer tire for glass and didn't see anything I mounted new tube. 100 yards later another flat on same wheel. Yep guessed it I had missed tiny glass embedded in tire. So I patched tube and got my buddy (who found the hole) and is 26 years my junior, to pump the air using a small frame pump. Due to the action of pumping, the jokes wrote themselves....I mean non stop. I think all cyclist who ride C&V have minds of preteens.
Here's a pic of said Summertime Blues Ironman.

All Dura Ace 7700 components including, Brifters, brakeset, crankset, BB, and chain. HS is OEM. 9 speed for my '89.
