I redid the cable work after I took the picture to fix that problem. It was bugging me. And the cottered bb service was a royal pain. The cotter pin woudn't come out and mushroomed on me. In the end...

I have started my second bike restoration. It's a 1987 Peugeot Triathlon with a two color paint job. I thought I had the painting all worked out because CyclArt (cyclart.com) is just a few minutes...

Thanks for the feedback. The bend in the housing has been bugging me. I used the original lengths of the old housings as a guide, but the seem a bit long.

I got it done locally at www.northcountypowdercoating.com. The color is their stock candy blue.

Yes, it's a powdercoat. I stripped it down myself and then had it powdercoated a candy blue. It's not an original color but I think that the decals and the chrome really standout with that color.

It's quite possible that the bike was a holdover. I bought the bike from a dilapidated bike store in rural Africa (it still exists and is as dilapidated as ever). Who knows how long that bike had...
