Hmm, got offered $300 for this Peugeot. Thats basically $250 that I get for free since it cost me $50. I really do like the ride, but should I sell it? That $300 will go to fund for a lugged CF bike. And left over cash could be for another Peugeot which Ill eventually find. What do you guys reckon?QuangVuong wrote:
Heres my Peugeot Izoard with all original parts except for the front wheel(Aussie Velocity half-deep V?) Replaced the old tubes and tyres(which surprising still held air) with Zaffiro tyres, and the hoods to black as the white ones were sticky. The underside of the top tube was crazy rusty, and Ive removed and repainted the underside. You guys prob wouldnt be able to tell if I hadnt said anything.
Probably tmw, I will get another Peugeot, the Tourmalet in gun metal with the 300EX groupset.

Thanks Lunar, agree that the bike is heavy. I was hoping to keep it near-original but won't really ride it unless it's lighter (will keep parts anyway just in case). Anyone got recommendations or cheap components to suit?lunar_c wrote:My fiancé had a Tourmalet with that exact finish, a nice looking bike if a little heavy. I replaced rhe original steel bars with aluminium, put a carbon fork from an old trek on it which made a big difference. The original cranks had a steel inner ring which weighed a bit too. Made it a really nice bike.

Does it make me old that a bike I purchased brand new (in '89, incidentally, the bike in the ad is not an '87 model despite the listing) is now considered "vintage"?frog wrote:Reynolds 501 Ventox for sale in Northcoat Vic.

If I can find a PY10FC that'll be nice.frog wrote:Sell it, and pick up an even nicer pug. You can't say no to a profit like that!
If the dude who offered will go ahead, then, I'll sell it to him.
Relatively, you are older than me and the bike your purchased.

The Hurricane will need some TLC to get it running, I bought it as a bare frame on gumtree for $25 a few months back. The dropouts are out of whack and there is a fair bit of rust under the top tube where it's rubbed against something in the weather for years.
The Trail I bought for $15 (I love gumtree) as a whole bike with rusty french bits everywhere.

Many thanks to Lunar_C for his help with parts.

Does the bike still have a derailleur hanger?
