Title: French Fancys.............................! pic heavy!
Post by: ronster on February 05, 2011, 08:20 PM
Right this is my lastest runabout/rider...im sure a few of you saw this Peugeot frame set on the bay about a month ago for £22 buy it now?....well I looked at it for a while and did nothing about it and it got re-listed so I bought it knowing I had loads of bits kicking around to build it up on the cheap ;)...I had a nos pair of Sprint aero forks so fitted them rather than the standard black Akisu ones.
A set of Dels finest sorted it right out...not sure they are right but I dont care really as I like it :D, a few of you will recognise some of your parts that I have bought lately...thanks for that chaps ;). Im very happy with it and it rides real sweet,nice angles and a good weight too...there is also some pics of it with my Motobecane MX400 that I have been playing around with, just bought Pickles wheels and lobbed em on it...need to shine side them tho ;)...changed the bars and stem to something more suited than before.
Let me know what you chaps think and be honest on both as all comments welcome good or bad :).

If the peugeot ever wants to go home, there is a space in my garage in Brittany for it!!! full board and little use!!

Really like that, never saw many peugeots round our way BITD, may keep my eyes open for one!
