nice buy @Tony Raynor

Had a quick look around the net and I'm guessing 30s or 40s. They did single and 3 speed, so without a gear lever I'm guessing single. I really like the eagle on the top of the forks. Think this will be next year before I get to grips with it.

strolling around local car boot and somebody was trying to sell a Peugoet Comette which had alloy tubes and bonded lugs upon closer inspection top and main tubes were showing signs of being a bit bent and the 2 lugs were no longer looking neat and tidy , upon asking a price i was told £100 !!

apart from a nice set of rims and maillard hubs rest was bog standard .

Anyone comment on this. I'm pretty new to this bicycle stuff, so not sure if this is good or not. I prefer the older tourer style, but it's very near to where I work. If it's pretty run of the mill I might pass as I have 4 bikes as projects.

Cor, and I was in Cumbria last week. I'm sure my wife would have been delighted if I'd brought that home.

So you think it's worth saving and restoring? I've just asked if I can pick it up as postage prices nowadays are loony. Thanks post office lol

It's prime for a singlespeed or fixie conversion, not so sure on restoration as it's not really my thing.

 

[Tony Raynor]

Thanks Andrew, will definitely keep an eye on it ;-)

Looks like a nice project.

 

[Tony Smith]

Looks like a good possibility for a refurb with pleasant lugwork. Don't go down the fixie route though...

I just bought another bike last week. Now, I see these this morning. They are girls bikes, except for the last one, but just the parts alone might would be worth the prices. BTW,, The title of the first one seems a little strange to me..... I am just the messenger.
