Dreamt I was riding my first road bike down gravel roads last night and it worked better than expected. Bought in the early 80's when I was in the Air Force, this was my first real bike not from a hardware store. Dug it out of the garage this morning to check everything, maybe an easy ride if it warms up. Front tire inflated easily (Presta), but had to reconfigure pump for back valve, which inflated and immediately emptied. Not only is it a Schrader but it doesn't have an inner core. Yeah, it's been a while.

If someone wanted to get new wheels and tires for this what size would they shoot for? That is, is there a common, easily obtainable size that would fit?
Update: I should have said "rims" and tires.

@jerzone I let my Peugeot (I probably bought it in '83) go because I didn't want to deal with the 27" rims. The rear brake needed to be long reach which was also hard to find. I do miss it though, it was a dark blue.
