Weirdly customized by prior owners with turkey levers & universal side-pulls. Also barcons and suntour FD. Avocet soft seat. My first proper road bike since my last Peugeot was stolen 30 years ago. This one appears to be a higher-end model than my 1980s one was.
I plan to tear down, clean, oil, replace tires, check/replace cables and use as is. No plans to do the leave-it-unlocked test.



Wow excellent!
I should be picking my bike up tomorrow morning if all goes well.
It's 80 euros and so i don't have much money left if it needs anything replacing!
