$100 EACH or $100 for the three of them? They all need a good bit of work, going to be getting your hands really dirty! :-) Welcome to the forum!

Thanks! $100 for the 3 bikes. I think i did alright?
Look forward to cleaning them up-- I have 20+ other bikes, these are my first road bikes other than an old Dawes.

Still learning
If the wheels and spokes aren't rusted, you probably did okay. There does appear to be a lot of rust on the chainstay on the red bike. That would concern me. Of the 3, the Mixte has the most upside, but that is location dependent.

Two chainstay's are in fair shape, I have to take a further look. All the wheels look like they will clean up pretty well. The uo9's paint is pretty ugly.

I love that mixte with the fenders and huge headlight up front. That's exactly the kind of bike I'm hoping to find for my college-bound daughter's campus ride. Make sure your current on your tetnaus shots before trying to remove that old chain, however!

The red one is donation fodder. Its the kind of bike I will drop off at the co-op on the way home. The mixte has good upside.

As long as you have the time/tools/aptitude/pile of parts.

All of the alloy parts on the red bike should swap over to the green UE 8, assuming it fits you. Then drop the frame off at the co-op.

Nice UE 8 find. I'd love to find one of those. I've been looking but no luck so far.

We need a thread, maybe a sticky, titled "Record Ou Monde" (actually "RECORD DU MONDE") is not a model name. It's a generic "World Record" claim Peugeot put on many bikes. (That's how it is on my UO8, all uppercase.)

Record Du Monde means World Record. Record Ou Monde would mean Record or World, which makes little sense.
