Which Bike Would You Use?

Marvel

Old School Hero
Going to France for the weekend in a couple of weeks time. I've got the choice of a 60's Viking road bike on tubs with 6 gears and drop bars or a 90's Kona Explosif on slicks with flat bars and a Flexstem. We're only going to be doing about 40 miles each day if that. The Kona is nice and comfy with plenty of gears and easy to fix inner tubes whereas the Viking is smoother and faster but if I get more than one puncture I'm in trouble. Which would you chose? I'm currently leaning towards the Kona but haven't ridden it that far before.
 
Kona - you can walk into just about any store and ask : vous avez des innertubes s'il vous plaît?

Or something like that.

Although thinking about it, the Viking is a conversation starter in its own right so that would probably get you more attention!

I'd probably buy another bike, just for the trip.

As if I need an excuse to have another bike. :facepalm:

I have to say I was a little surprised you did not suggest it.
