Reminds me of a dream I had a few months ago. Post zombie apocalypse came across Eddie Merckx who offered my group a load of cycles. A great way to keep ahead of the herd following us. The group grew in size, including Mark Cavendish. Unfortunately we lost Cav to the zombies on a hill.
Anyway, in an attempt to resolve the tube issues. http://tiredofpunctures.com/cycle/index.html. I was wondering if this would work using foam tyre filler as well, but probably has limited shelf life.
I also second use of a vintage steel bike. Thick steel could be mended by simpler welding techniques, or even bodied with screws, bolts, rivets for a short while. Raleigh bbs are already known to last forever. Simple tools to fix. I guess ball bearings are just something to keep an eye out for, but they will be easy to change in one of them.
