Which Bike Would You Use?

[Spydaman]

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.

Take a couple of spare tubs and enjoy the Viking
