La Peugeot - c'est fini

La Peugeot - c'est fini

amazed at how clean it was upon arrival. Original paint and complete decals..!


Label dated July 1985, and model P10PG in 'Misty Blue'

.
Came with a 5speed Maillard freewheel, RIGIDA Superchromix rims [vgc], and a Simplex SX410 rear mech.
No restoring was required - however relubed all the bearings, trued the rims and added new tubes, bar-tape, and brake and gear cables. .. And a new Bontrager saddle.
Some slight tarnish on the original Lyotard pedals - easily removed - clips added.


very pleased with this - my first road bike since the late 1950s

now waiting for some sun in a wet southwest Scotland..!.....................

Maybe keep it for sunny days (oh sh*t you're in Scotland ! at least the rain keeps the midges down) or start saving

Peugeot Premiere? Looks just like the bike I was lucky enough to get for my 11th birthday - I had to turn the saddle clamp upside down, but I could just about ride it. I had great fun on that bike

Peugeot Premiere? ......................................................

the 1985UK catalog does indeed show a P10M Premiere
but the frame label states ''P10PG' which, in the catalog, is their ''Loire'' model
.

.
listed as a his'n'hers Touring bike

Very nice, amazing condition. But I don't fancy those chrome rims in the wet! You may be interested in this site hosted by another Canuck : http://www.mytenspeeds.com/My_TenSpeeds_1/FREE_SITE_1/FREE_SITE_1_HOME.htm He has also restored some Pugs.

i'm still a bit over-whelmed actually
i was looking for an older Raleigh [as my avatar] to ''do up'' for some summer riding
browsing Gumtree i saw the Peugeot listed at a bike dealer - a bit wary and so chatted to biggs
who twisted my arm and off went a cheque......

it arrived well packed and in superb condition
judging by the newish grease in the BB, it had been well maintained

i reckon i got real lucky with this one..............

It's stunning, a real credit to you (...... and to its original owner) If/when I go down the classic route for N+1 then I hope I'm as lucky as you have been

C'est magnifique!
