Spring modding, Peugeot style
I hardly ever ride my PH-10 for some reason. Not sure why as it's my favorite. I decided to spruce it up a bit. I had a set of Secas in 27 inch that I bought last year, and E3 saddle that swapped off the Technium. I also tuned up the cable adjustments, etc. Rides really nice, and got a few ounces lighter in the process. Looks more up to date, although that could be a bad thing for a vintage bike,,,,BD
It went from this.....
To this....!

Hmmmm, that sounds pretty cool. I have a set of black hooded Aero levers from the Technium? Silver levers though. The black hoods would be sweet with black wrap though. I think the tape is the adhesive type, so it may need to be re-wrapped.,,,,BD
I also have the original gum hoods, but they're dried up pretty bad.

I love that e3 saddle! I just got one and having now put 200 miles on it, I think it's the most comfortable I've owned.

Very nice updated look!
I agree with the suggestion to add aero levers, I'll bet some red bar tape would really make it pop.....

Red? hmmm... I'm not a big fan of red tape, but I could do a photoshop. I though about yellow briefly too.

Photoshop it with red tape and minus the cables - I think it'll look sharp!

Yellow and red tape photoshops. I kind of like either oddly enough. The yellow picks up the yellow on the decal. The red completes the rainbow effect. Decisions,,,,decisions.....,,,,BD

Actually, I too like the no-nonsense all black look myself. Just need some carbon components and black anondized rims to complete the look!

It may be bent, but if it is it's not that bad. The ride is pretty good. It's doesn't pull or twitch or feel uneasy at all.,,,,BD
If I could find a black Peugeot fork in this size I would replace it.
