Challenge CP 12
Hey guys-
Along with the Peugeot I just got, I got this one too. Its a Challenge CP 12. I have never heard of this nor can I find anything on it on line. Its got a Siistar(?) crank set, Tange butted tubing, and a Brooks spring loaded saddle. Its in pretty bas shape, with a lot of spots of rust on the tt. What does everyone think?

I believe this is also a Peugeot even though it is not on the downtube. One of these popped up near me and I passed at 30.00

Maybe 15-20 on the saddle, I don't think people are crazy over the brooks mattress saddles.

Hmm, ok. I can get frames powdercoated for very cheap. Like $50 cheap. What if I was to just gt it powdercoated and have a shop re-dish the rear wheel? I have no idea how to do it and heard its a pain....what does everyone think?
