tanwalls possibly too much but the nicest tire i had on hand i would like a silver seatpost, but it's an odd size and the black one i had is quite nice so it's ok for now |
Very nice ! I looked for a 753 Peugeot for quite a while some years ago and couldn't find one. Now I have a 531 Pro instead so that'll do but the 753 is an apex predator.

My 1988 Peugeot Chorus is probably my best bike. It is spaced for 126mm at the back, and I'm running a 7-speed freewheel. Geared 50/39 & 13-28. Is yours wider? It looks like you have a good-sized cassette.

Very good bike 👍👌The golden age in terms of bikes for Peugeot.

Looks like a blast to ride.

Yep wide gears. I need em. I've got the 7 spd 12-32 sram, $20, weighs about 400 grams, (my favorite cassette). Indexed shifting. 53/39 rings. modern nitto stem, old nitto randoneur bar 7800 Dura Ace calipers, R55C4 pads & basic shimano levers (fantastic combo) the wheels are criminally heavy but they feel amazing once they spin up and the bearings are mint and i'm bunny hopping up curbs on them so it's cool. |
I actually used to hate Peugeot bikes, because all the ones round here seem to be heavy junk, and people get tricked into them by the cool graphics.
So a nice Peugeot tricks the eye twice. It's a nice bike that looks like a sh*t bike that looks like a nice bike. |

As much as I reqlly like the idea of a 753 framed Puegeot race bike, I never warmed up to the graphics and colors that Peugeot put on them the pastel colors just looks too kitsch to me. The same goes for the fonts they used on the bikes.
the same thing happened to Gitanes in the late 80's. These French bikes started to look like they are trying to look cute, instead of the serious race machines that they were, under the paint and graphics. Just my personal take on these later 80's French bikes, in general. |

Just my personal take on these later 80's French bikes, in general. Im generally ok with it and particularly like the bike in question, paint and all. |
