A bit expensive, but I love the look of this vintage Peugeot touring frame in Hobart:

That's a lot of money for a UO8.

Not a Colnago, but still something interesting for retro Brisbanites to get onto asap methinks:

Happy 5th birthday for this thread!!!

It's not cheap but not a lot of money if the condition is as good as it says. Those old dynamo lights all in working order and so on all expensive to build back up again I assure you as I have one the same here in Sydney waiting for all the parts to come up cheap enough and near enough to get it back to that sort of condition.

Not a Peugeot racer but a quality tourer that will weather a few fixie flat bar fashion cycles for $400 isn't bad.

The Peugeot certainly looks well polished and neat, but a lot more than I'd want to pay (but I am a cheapskate). Some parts on those bikes were ok, others crap - especially those old plastic shifters, IMO the worst shifters ever made. I have a resprayed Peugeot mixte with dynamo lights working as my better half's bike and it's quite nice. Have had quite a few of these over the years and now have a box of spares + wheels, mudguards etc if there's anything in particular which could be of use, very rare to find intact lights on the guards though.

Perhaps unicycles are worth more than the two-wheeled variety!

[minhyy]

Stronglight 93 cranks by the looks

Looks real to me, the little embossed "Clubs" in the right places and the down and top tube are the right shape.

"Hard to read" = Understatement of the year. I need a good lie down after trying to make sense of that. The old one is interesting though.

idontknowwhatyouguysareonabouticanreaditperfectlywithoutanytrouble.

but im wondering is that dark blue M-S some kind of older re-issue? or someone just not all there? decals state classic and dont quite appear to be the gum label type as one would expect to find on a vintage bike, but rather the typical peel and place stickers.

miyata anyone know what the shifters are?

You'd hate to scuff those pristine rims...

The shifters on the miyata look kind of like Shimano A-050 shifters mounted incorrectly, but they're quite a bit older and MUCH bigger. Weird.


That fixie is a hoot, you might get one really sudden stop out of it .

They are exage motion shifters like these I reckon.

Yes, it is the real deal.

The bike is in pretty good nick. Minor corrosion over all the chrome that will probably buff off. My main concern is bubbling on or under the paint work. I couldnt tell if this is corrosion or Ernesto's original poor handiwork. I would have loved to attack it with a scriber to see, but I don't think the owner would have appreciated this.

Only Mirage gear throughout. Minor work needed like bar tape, cables etc.

Went for $1110.00 this morning. A fair price if the frame is not corroded.

[munga]

wow sounds expensive to me. then again, i saw an unrestored concorde prelude asking $700 this morning, so maybe prices are just going up!
