Another mini-restoration

[Peter Amey]

Possibly not saved from scrap like the Dawes Galaxy project I mentioned
in an earler post here, but a nice Peugot saved from an eternity in a
dark garage. All I have done is re-rim the wheels, replace a wonky LH
crank and put on some bar tape.

Picture in kitchen to respect u.r.c traditions.

The Dawes is here if anyone is interested.

Hi Peter,

I see you're thinking about a new seatpost for this bike.
Are you sure that it's 22.0mm?
If it is, the nearest match I can think of is a BMX post.
However, I have a similar bike of about the same age, which was 24.0mm,
an equally unusual size, which is/was available from
www.yellowjersey.org in the US.

http://groups.google.ie/group/uk.re...st&q=bookieb+seatpost&rnum=1#7302b71822146f43
records that discussion - search the group for 24.0mm seatpost if the
link is broken.

hth,

bookieb

Thanks. I'll dig the verniers out before I buy anything but it
certainly looked like 22mm.

My oh my - my first 'proper' bike - Christmas 1985. Mine had a carrier and
white bar tape, and cottered cranks, but the paint job and graphics are the
same. Me and the peugeot went miles... does that one have the little peg on
the stay to hook the chain on when removing the rear wheel?

The memories - oh, the memories.

Thanks

Tim

Ooh, I'll have a closer look.

Here's my long awaited restoration..

>From a single speed grandmother bike with dodgy hub brake, to a 7 speed
nexus hub with coaster brake, nexus dynamo hub with roller brake. It
required a bit of frame and fork re-spacing and the addition of 3" of
handlebar to fit the gear/brake lever on.

All I need now is the wicker basket.
