For the hell of it, faux French city bike build

Not sure if I ever posted this here, but figured some people may (possibly?) be interested in this sort of thing. I put this up for sale locally, but what I'd probably rather do is repurpose the parts to build up a different frame I have. In the meantime, I thought some may appreciate the faux French build, so here it is. This started life as a Schwinn World. The decals were buffed off and all the components were replaced with a mix of parts from a non-US market Peugeot and Fuji road bike, with new Velo-Orange bars & levers. It's a nice riding bike and all that, but I don't use it so I figured I'd turn it into something else (maybe the same build on a slightly smaller Motobecane Grand Jubilee frame I picked up for $1 last year).











enjoy, cringe, or whatever suits you
