700x28s are as comfortable as the old 1-1/4 tire. Also, the tire rubber

Really?
The tires I bought in the 1980s and 1990s were 66 tpi (Specialized Touring II)
and up.
Maybe the only old tires I've dealt with were cheap and didn't use a
high TPI or good quality rubber. Most of the tires I'm running now are
120TPI which ends up being very comfortable. This is probably why I
thought older tires didn't use the higher TPI of current tech.

more comfy on the mtb too.

Add - historic new departure hub, the one with 20 plates for squeezing
together for coaster brakes. Modern coaster brakes have shoes that
squeeze the inside of the hub.

Just keeps going.
