Well, the story is (if anyones interested) about 12 years ago when i lived in the Uk (now in Australia) the company i worked for did charity bike rides so we entered the London To Brighton (58 miles). I actually didn't have a bike so i bought this off my mate at the last minute and did the ride, It was great fun, it ended up more like a bike pub crawl, it took about 4 and a half hours (shocking), and i awoke the next day very sore indeed, mainly my head. The bike went in my garage,i never really saw it again until i moved here.I didn't want to part with it so i put it in my shed and didn't see it again for a while longer, stuck behind the mower etc. I dragged it out a month or two ago when my kids were riding around on their bikes and i started tinkering around with it, new tyres, tubes and now need new cables. She goes like a dream actually, apart from when the old gear cables both snapped, that was a *****, stuck in top gear going up a hill!! Someone i know said that Peugeot bikes from the 60's to early 80s are sought after bikes. I was intrigued and found some info on it (serial no. = manufactured date) then found this forum. Great stuff! I think i'll take the advice and just spruce it up with a few new bits and a good clean. All the bearings still seem in good nick!
OK, nice one looks like i have found myself a new project!
