I put Ruffy Tuffy's on a bike I re-habbed for my daughter: '83 Schwinn Super Sport <http://schwinncruisers.com/catalogs/1983.html#super-sport> (full lugged Tange #2 frame), converted to upright bars by the previous owner. I gave it a new chain, new cables, a triple touring crank, and thumbshifters (6s index from my '88 KOM).
I pump them to ~70 psi front, ~80 psi rear. I'd add 10-15 psi if I were riding these tires; she weighs maybe #100 where I weigh #220. I briefly rode the Ruffy Tuffy's on my Riv Road, before converting to 650b wheels. The Ruffy Tuffy's rode OK, but didn't feel supple compared to the Grand Bois Cerf tires on my gofast.
