With the intention of doing the Eroica I have acquired a 1980's peugeot in a wheel-free state.
From a little preliminary web research the original wheels appear to have been 700c with an atom rear drum brake, the frame has retained the original mafac rim brakes.
I would be grateful on any advice regarding what replacements I might be able to source, the bike would not be used for laden touring but would have 150kg of humanity on board.
 

I like Skol

Thanks for the helpful info you two
I was particularly interested regarding the matter of the missing rear drum brake, as a tandem virgin reading around it seems suggested that these are an essential adjunct when hurtling down hills.
I noted a single NOS atom online at a premium price and some more modern shimanos, but are these modern types compatible?
