Bought this as a complete bike off ebay for about 30 quid just over a year ago. Don't know much about these bikes, and I only ever knew one person who had one bitd. I'm guessing it was an entry level bike, as it weighed a ton with it's original parts. I think it's from 1984, but am not too sure. I certainly saw one in 1984/85. This is how it looked when I picked it up:





The one I remember from 1984 had a different blue/yellow/gold colour scheme which I preferred. Got the frame repainted and repro decals from Del:



I wanted to reduce the weight of the bike and upgrade the parts, so it's not to factory spec. It's taken me a year to get the parts together, but I finished it today and here it is:

Peugeot Black Lion Frame, Forks & Bars.
