Good morning !

With no jobs in the queue this morning I got to working on my old Pug over my morning coffee... woke up thinking that I wanted to play with some old Huret bits I salvaged last week and still need to pull a Peugeot branded double off another bike and fit it but for now the old lady is running as a 1 by 6.

Had these beautiful French wheels kicking around... these are Maillard hubs are laced to double walled and eyeletted Rigida blue label rims (27 inch) I pulled off an 80's Peugeot racing bike some years ago when it got a 700c conversion.



Used a Huret dt shifter and a Huret Svelto derailleur which, despite it's low end origins is the coolest bit of kit and it works wonderfully as it is pretty much NOS and has not seen any miles. It's a pretty light derailleur and has smooth jockey wheels with adjustable bearings which was quite a touch for an entry level part.





Had to move my bell which is a BBC #5 that was made in Japan.... it is every bit as nice as a Crane in it's tone and believe BBC makes the smaller Crane bells.

It polished up very nicely...



Am also restoring an Ideale Pofessional saddle for the bike... it has been carefully reshaped to get rid of the center ridge it had developed (ass hatchet) and now it needs oiling and waterproofing before I can break it in.
