Got my peugeot done , photos
I have been looking for the right size peugeot for some time now. A few of the forum members have been looking on my behalf also. I made a trade and I just finish the make over. So for everyone that was helping me look Thank You.

Very nice, I like that cool 600 stuff

quick question. what is the "right size" for a road bike frame. for your bike you have barely any seatpost showing which means the toptube is pretty much rubbing against your pants when you stand over it. but on some other road bikes the seat post is very long, so are they fitted properly or not?

I have the same pedals on my bike - Very comfortable but slippery in the wet when the rubber on the platform is worn.
Nice bike - very clean. What sort of brake levers are they? I like the style. |
Note that both of the above replys concerning frame size only apply to the "old fashioned" style of frames with perfectly horizontal top tubes. The new style "compact" frames with the sloping top tubes are sized differently - s, m, l, xl. In other words, with the new compacts, the same frame can be used for a wider range of rider sizes - a great convenience for the manufacturers, at least.

The brakes and levers are suntour superbe and man do thay work nice. I need to raise the seat a little more. The pedals are used but look to be almost new.
|
that bike looks great man. i hope my schwinn comes out that nice
|
Very nice tolfan!

Very very nice! That bike looks very eager to be ridden. The new tires need a haircut.

Just out of curiosity, what did you do with that beautiful Velo frame?
Inquiring minds, and all that. It was really a beauty. East Hill |

I'm 6ft and my jeans have a 32 inseam. I can stand over the top bar flat footed. I think I have a longer torso and shorter legs then average. The bike fits with about 1/2 inch of clearance.

The brake levers are sticking and the chain skips. I got no luck at all.
