Building the Dream Bike. An 80s Peugeot/Campagnolo Eroica restoration.

[avecReynolds531]

Great project & thread - thanks.

My first 10 speed bike was an early 80s Peugeot PH8 Talisman with the lugless frame & 103 tubing, Simplex gearing, and Weinmann sidepull brakes - enjoyed it a lot & have always kept an interest in Peugeots.

The other Peugeot bike I had was a mid-70s PE41* - a £20 bargain. Lovely, versatile bike- but it had suffered too many years rusting out in the rain and had to be replaced.

Now, the only Peugeot we have is a fine pepper mill.

Thanks, the Talisman was very similar to the bike I had, maybe the differences didn't go much beyond the decals. That PE41 is a lovely looking bike. I love my lugless frame and can't wait to see in the red of my old bike.

Some parts for the build arrived today. Some need a clean and polish.

My brake calipers could write a book about the adventure they've been on. Still not here but 🤞

My order from E Bay of plant watering bulbs is nearly as bad.

Great thread @Sticky Green,
Im in the middle of building up a 531 pro frame with Mavic SSC group set for Eroica myself.
For the saddle it has to be a selle Italia Turbo!

Some great reference points for colour schemes etc is https://www.bikeboompeugeot.com/

Looking forward to the end result.
