Another peugeot question
I just bought what I think is a peugeot at a garage sale - almost none of the components are original so I'm not even sure if it is a pug. Front forks are chrome with pug logo stickers, unmarked fork ends, flat fork crown, decent workmanship, but no 531 stickers. I assume they belong to the frame - but this is the weird part, it has no seatpost binder bolt. Rather there is a setscrew that bears directly onto the (unmarked) seatpost. Dropouts are very short horizontal with no markings, integral der hanger. Stays have paint under current repaint, so not chrome. Nutted brake bolts - I think the late model Weinmann caliper brakes are original, and the Shimano 105 crank probably is too. Had the world's ugliest spinergy rear wheel and newish campy integrated shifter (7-speed). I'm planning on making it a commuter since the paint on the frame is so ugly. Anyone know the largest rear cog the campy der can take? I'm assuming 28 will be no problem.

Interesting... My friend has a Peugeot fixie with an expander-wedge seatpost--there's no bolt on the frame at all to hold the seatpost in. I'm not sure what your bike is though.

Thanks for the info - On this one there is actually a groove milled down the length of the seatpost for the screw to go into. I suppose that means I can't use another seatpost, though.

I used the following link to ID an 80's bike I picked up at a garage sale. Fortunately, all decals were intact, even the tape covered paper model# tag from the shop was still intact below the BB. With help from the original sales brochures on the linked site, I was able to narrow it down & indirectly decipher the numbers. During the late 70's & later, model colors & decals changed a lot.
Happy hunting!

Thanks. Actually there is one just like mine on ebay right now. I don't know which model but it is definitely Reynolds 501 and mid 1980s. The frame is pretty beat - I think I'll just ride the crap out of it and replace the frame when something comes up. It's a touch too big for me, but the ugly paint should make it a nice commuter.
