Hey guys-

Along with the Peugeot I just got, I got this one too. Its a Challenge CP 12. I have never heard of this nor can I find anything on it on line. Its got a Siistar(?) crank set, Tange butted tubing, and a Brooks spring loaded saddle. Its in pretty bas shape, with a lot of spots of rust on the tt. What does everyone think?

I believe this is also a Peugeot even though it is not on the downtube. One of these popped up near me and I passed at 30.00

Oh thats too bad. Well is that Brooks saddle worth anything?

Maybe 15-20 on the saddle, I don't think people are crazy over the brooks mattress saddles.

+1, Some bikes were meant to be converted to fixies so that others are saved. I'd sell the frame cheap and point out how there's very little to Drew. Worked for me in the past.

Hmm, ok. I can get frames powdercoated for very cheap. Like $50 cheap. What if I was to just gt it powdercoated and have a shop re-dish the rear wheel? I have no idea how to do it and heard its a pain....what does everyone think?
