Peugeot PSV10N headset service question +
I just acquired as project bike (of sorts) what appears to be a 1984 Peugeot PSV10N. The frame is the gem on the bike, being super-light (by my standards...I'm not too terribly snobby). Sadly, the bike in general has it's share of wear/tear, but I have pretty much everything I need to make it a nice riding machine. Two questions I hope someone can help with:
1. The headset is not quite tight. The PO raised the stem & installed Profile bars...and seemed to use pliers, a vice grip & maybe a group of Chimpanzees to do the work...so the headset nuts - even if I can get the headset/stem adjusted properly - is all chewed up and looks like hell. From what I've read, this is probably a more common size headset, being '80s vintage....should it be simple to find a correct replacement?
2. Touch up paint. Anyone know a good source for the black metallic paint Peugeot used in the early/mid '80s?
thanks in advance. If you don't mind a bit of ugly, I'll get some pictures to post here shortly.
