Hi Folks,

I recently acquired two childrens road bikes. One is a Flandria with 16 x 1 3/8" tires.

The other is an Eddy Merckx with 18 x 1 3/8 tires. The brand of tire is "OLMO" on the Merckx, illegible on the Flandria.

Does anyone know where I might look for a source of tires?

Any guesses to the age of these? The cotton bar tape seems to indicate 1975-1985 to me.

Also are these type of bikes highly collectible? I was going to let my children ride them, unless you feel otherwise?
