The bike faeries stop at my shop too but usually leave crap... the Peugeot was crap when it arrived but when I discovered the frame and fork were sound and managed to extract the death stem and bars thought my '57 Peugeot (the best catch ever) needed a little sister.
When I find a Huret rod shifter it will run as a double and could very well be used for some day tours as it is really an exceptionally nice riding bicycle as U series Peugeots are.
