I bought a Peugeot Sport french 10 speed road bike that I saw at a garage sale. It looked like it had decent quality and I needed a bike that I can ride in the winter that I don't care if it gets messed up. I paid $25 for it. Last winter I road my mtb and paid $50 for a new front derailure and chain after they rusted up.

The only thing that concerns me is the tires. They say 28x630. Anyone ever heard of that? The bike says it was made in France right on it and has a 103 frame (steel I believe). Anyone know anything about these bikes?

Thanks,

Mark

27" tires. They can be picked up anywhere. 28mm wide or 1-1/8"

On the lower end of the Peugeot line. Nothing horrible, nothing great. The tires should be an easy find, but keep in mind steel rims = lousy braking in wet conditions.
