identity crisis
 

hello all, i am new to the forums and single/fixed gears. hell new to cycling in general. i have acquired a bike that i was hoping some of you would be able to identify for me. i will post some pics, and hopefully they will be informative enough for you to give me a good guess at what i am looking at.

thanks for your help.
Bradd.

actually they are too large, but will link you directly to them in photobucket so you can get a good view on them. also did some searching and found the hubs/rims on google.

I'd post it in Classic & Vintage (another room on bikeforums)... any idea of what kind of bottom bracket it is?

looks like stamped dropouts?

Yes, Classic and vintage will more likely be able to identify it. You should take a picture of the seat cluster too. That will tell a lot.

How do you like it?

it is a little heavy. mostly due to the componets i am sure. it is little lighter then my specialized road bike. it needs a new saddle. but generally, and overall i think it has some style.

Could be a Raleigh Supercourse sometime around early 70s. A peek at the seat cluster would help substantiate my suspicion, and a serial number could verify it. Is there a serial number on the bottom bracket?

the paint is so thick on it that ifn there was one, they would of coated over it at least 5 times .

Looks like a Peugeot to me but I know nothing.
At least that fork looks like a peugeot.
