New Peugeot purchase no. 2: 1977 Peugeot PR10 - now PMarkey's

[DCLane]

I've been meaning to post this up for a while but haven't got round to taking any pictures. Currently it's taking up space in my work's bike cage alongside the Dawes Impact - neither have made it home because there's no space.

Bought via eBayfrom a @mikeymustard suggestion I got round to a proper look at it a few days ago;

From what I can see it's from about 1977 and is a PR10. The serial number is on a separate plate but it all works. Just.

What's to do:

• All parts work but need a proper service
• The paintwork's not great. No major rust but there's the odd blister and some scraped off the front fork.
• Wheels need truing and grease but they're basically OK.
• Some of the parts aren't in any decent condition, particularly the front derailleur and the bracket holding the shifters. Both need replacing.

I'm still not sure whether to keep it or sell at present to be honest.

Tough decision @DCLane when these are nice they ride well

unless you are going to use it perhaps advertise it if someone makes you a good offer and you can make some money (for a bike project?) then sell it if you dont get a good offer then keep and spend some time fixing it up a bit then you can re advertise it for an even higher price or just keep either way a great project/bike to have.

Sorry
OK it might need a bit (lot?) of work but it's still gotta be worth £60?

Don't worry. The frame's good, almost all the components are good and the wheels will be fine. At the eBay price it was a bargain so I'm not concerned.

Another Pug...nice

Do UK models need a 7mm allan key for the stem binder bolt?

 

[DCLane]

OK - decision made. I'm not getting better health-wise and as such it is better this bike is being used by someone who is more interested than me.

It's in the For Sale section for £70, which covers my purchase price and petrol. Anyone interested can get a bargain.

 

[DCLane]

It's now gone to PMarkey, who I hope will use it lots.

Nice bike.
My Peugeot I have been working on. Just bar tape and brake cables to fit.

trial fit and needs a bit of adjustment and the second front brake sorting but getting there .

The PR10 never did end up as a trike and has been sat in the corner of the garage looking a bit forlorn so today it's been separated in to it's component parts and work is starting in earnest helped along by spotting these whilst browsing the net .

52/42 chainrings and a 14-21 five speed block.

That would come as a shock to people who post asking if it is possible to fit a 34t sprocket to their 50/34 eleven speed 7kg bikes so they don't have to walk up hills

Eeh, them were t'days.

 

[PMarkey]

All they need to do is ride 42x15 fixed for a few months then 42x21 feels like luxury

We were tough in those days, 20mm tyres too!
You try telling kids that these days.....
