eBay purchase: Peugeot Premiere P10N

[DCLane]

I didn't put this in the eBay watch thread as I'd thrown in a cheeky bid

That was last week and I'd waited to be outbid by others. Well, it didn't happen and this afternoon I picked up a 1987? Peugeot Premiere.

It's got new Schwalbe Delta tyres, new-ish mudguards and looks in great condition. There's a few frame marks but that's all. The seller also gave me the original saddle; bar tape is the same as original, just brake hoods and rear reflector missing. It's a bt of a time-warp:

Plans?

At the moment it'll live at work and be used between campuses. I've a winter bike built already and it's far too good to turn into a fixie.

An update: I've done nothing with it and it's surplus at work due to the Pinnacle Neon 1 I bought so it's going to be on sale shortly.

It's a pity but I can't justify having another bike I'll use only occasionally.

I'm sure that was the same as Mr Summerdays bike when I met him 30+ years ago, or at least something like that!

Absolutely. Particularly now that a) I've measured it and it's a 22" frame and b) it's still got the original model / serial number on the side on paper with tape over. The wheels are week 23 from 1986 so it may be an '86 not an '87. All original apart from no rear mudguard reflector, the new tyres and I'm putting new brake pads on tomorrow as the original ones are squeaky.

It'll go on eBay tomorrow with a start price of £99 and a buy-now of £140. £100 to any CC member.

not a bad price at all @DCLane

@biggs682 - I'd like to keep it but it needs to go, along with a couple more. My only use would be as a winter bike and it's too good for that.

Thats a nice winter bike for sure @DCLane

 

[DCLane]

@biggs682 - using a complete original bike over the winter for my daily 25+ mile commute ... .. erm ... no. I'd have nightmares.

I've got one anyway in the form of an Eastway R4.0 that I won't feel guilty about using.

Nope, on sale it is, which will be on eBay Friday/Saturday.

You should get a good price - nice machine.

Hoping my fixed gets written off so I can buy a new mtb.
