Replacing an old Peugeot heatset.....
I recently bought an old Yellow Peugeot from a guy on CL for $60. The guy said he bought it new and used it in college in the early 70's. But the headset is worn out and it seems like it tries to get stuck in the forward direction. I have heard that parts for old French bikes are hard(er) to find. Will it be something that my LBS can order, or do I have to find it online myself? I was looking at the Park Tool website and it looks to be a job that requires alot of tools and know how, so I think that I will need to let the LBS do the change out. And I probably should get the BB serviced also, I would think.
Oh yea, I wish I could post pics of the the bike, but my camera got left at my moms house 2 hours away this last weekend. Pics will be available hopefully this weekend!
