absntr,

Awesome! Beautiful bikes!

Speaking of Peugeots, I used to have an early '80s Carbolite 103 bike I converted to a SS and the problem was the rear wheel kept shifting in the dropouts since they were cheap stamped steel and I finally converted it to a two-speed with a ft. derailler. Then I wrecked it so I just scrapped the frame since it was beyond repair. I should add it had a quick-release rear hub which was part of the problem.

I now have an '88 Peugeot mtn bike that's now a fixie. It has really nice Simplex dropouts with threaded holes on the back of the dropouts for the tiny adjusting screws.
