My Peugeot
 

Hi There,

I'm new to the forum and here are couple of pics of my ride :)
Its a 1982 Peugeot. Pics are a few years old and since then I put a new seat, tires and grip tape.
Everything else is stock on the bike and I will try to keep it that way for as long as I own this bad boy.
I will put some more pics when I get time.

Thanks,

V

very nice pics of your ride. welcome to the forums :)

Welcome to the forums. I love Peugeots. I have been through 3 of them this year. I can't seem to find one that fits me so I just tune and clean them up and pass them on to someone who can use them. If I find the right one it will stay with me.

I think that's a UO9.

Nice bike, circa 1980.

Thank you,
the frame is a little big for me but I dont really mind. It's sweet. I keep looking to find another one to convert it to a single gear for winter but no luck yet here in Calgary.

If I were you, I would get rid of that side stand. The clamp will eventually crush your chain stays and those darn stands are not all that stable. Additionally, when putting a lightweight road bicycle on the road, why add the extra weight of a side stand? Lean your bike against a wall or something you can lock it up to if need be.

Just my opinion, but after refurbishing roughly 500 vintage road bicycles, I have seen my share of crushed chain stays.
