I bought the below from ebay to 'play' with over the winter.
It's a PH8 that has a 1979 frame number and is in 1980(s) decals.
I was intending to strip it and repaint,...but the paint and decals are really good so I just cleaned up the frame.
(There are a few chips but no major damage.
I then replaced some of the worn and heavy stuff. Including wheels that are now 700's as apposed to the 27" that came on it.
I wasn't trying to do a restoration, just repair / build a bike that would be ride-able.
It now weighs 11.5kg which I think is quite good for an old Carbolite frame Peugeot.
I am really surprised how well it rides and how comfortable it is.
But....
I'm not much of a rider and enjoyed the hands on mechanical work, so I'm thinking of having a go at something else, possibly a lighter or better quality frame.
I have no idea what the PH8 would be worth, it stands me about £200 for everything (Not including labour obviously lol).
I would probably have to sell it to do another project. But I have no idea what to advertise it for, or even if it's worth selling, it being based on a 'cheaper' end frame.
Any thoughts?
