For the last two weeks, I've had an ad in the weekly, free (the paper, not the ads) local paper. I got my first "valid" hit - someone with an old (1980?) Peugeot Grand Sport. I go and look at it - nothing all that special, but everything works smoothly. I figured I could part it out and possibly double the $25.00 I paid for it.

I get it home and as soon as he heard it was a Peugeot (they make cars too - which makes it desireable to him), my son says he wants it. It's dirty, but the decals and paint are remarkably good. The lad claims he'll clean it, but now I need to lay hands on an appropriate crank puller. Only the French would engineer a crankset where the outer chainring is integral to the crank!

This means I should have a spiffed-up Follis ready to put on the block soon.

No pictures - the wife comes home in 7 days, so we have to work fast.
