I searched everywhere looking for the etch primer Iknew I had but eventually just sanded and cleaned the rusty chrome forks. It may scratch off easy.
Then next day I found the primer of course
Effect easy using a piece of A4 paper made into a stencil with a hobby knife and time in front of the TV watching Star Trek
I wanted to use aero levers to hide cables for convenience despite it being like a 70's bike.
I hand drilled 2mm holes and chamfered them slightly with a bigger drill. It was just a spur of the moment decision to paint the plastic widget on this type of shimano lever. They clip off easily and I had a spray can with some tan paint lying around. I have ordered some gum coloured hoods I think should fit okay
It might be a few weeks before much else happens on ths bike. Still not decided on gears. I may use some first generation 600 indexing levers and mechs from 80's, because I have them

Seems quite like the early Aussie made Peugeot ten speeds with a later paint scheme that I haven't seen. But I am no expert.
I had also once picked up an 80's Pug from the tip that came in with an immigrant so it was a model that wasn't sold here. It had french made stickers on it.
Should make a good ride.

The brakes levers are Weinmann with the suicide levers cut off to suit the home-made handlebar. The front brake lever has a grub screw securing the cable that's corroded itself into place and is resisting all attempts to remove it, so looks like new brake levers as well.

I found I had Triomphe front and rear mechs in the cupboard so that will do for the gears. Only 10 years off period! (Pity I made the gear levers into fridge magnets and gave them away.) The brake hoods almost fit the shimano levers. Fine for a hack bike.
Decals from cyclomondo are lovely as usual.
Now just waiting for cloth bar tape and the Stronglight cranks to arrive in the xmas post.

Admittedly, mine has got a long way to go before it looks like this:

The bike is all original except the saddle and the pedals. I would to like to change the wheels because are not in very good condition...

I love the cranks. They are very lightly worn for being pretty old. I had pair of these on my first track bike. Found I still have the removal tool!
A mixture of parts. Just for the excercise I mucked around with spacers in the cassette to get the 6sp shimano index levers to work the Triomphe rear mech okay on index. Some gaps I used 2x10sp spacers.

I love the loud? color scheme - it looks in amazing condition. I hope you keep it as is.
Is that 64cm CC?.... as it looks bigger.
