Hi Riders,
I have two bikes that aren't going to Florida with me and I'd like to see them go to a good home.
#1 is a Peugeot UO-8, 1973-74 vintage. Reconditioned about a year or two ago. New tires and tubes, new cables, fresh chain. Broken Mafac levers were replaced with Shimano 600 units. New old stock Mafac pads in the Mafac Racers. Seat and post are not original. I found a really clean set of Simplex QR skewers on Ebay to replace rusted units. 20-21 inch frame. Photos have been posted here before.
#2 is a Puch, Ted Williams model from Sears, reconditioned 5 to 7 years ago. Gas pipe frame but with SR cotterless crank and long cage Shimano Tourney RD. Big, honkin' 34 tooth low on the freewheel. Tires are good. Brakes are Weinmann or Dia Compe. Original cable clamps are gone, replaced with zip ties.
I know, not great bikes, but exemplary of their time. If you're in The Connecticut River Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire and are interested, e-mail me. wsalati@hotmail.com

I would love to take that Peugot, but I just wouldn't be able to give it the love that it deserves. Great job on the reconditioning, it looks great
