Old Peugeot Premiere (Possible Project)

[EltonFrog]

Picked this up today free, gratis and for nuffink. It was about to be scrapped.
Whadya fink?

There’s plenty of life left in that, if you want to get rid of it as it is let me know.

Looks okay, finest French gaspipe . These were produced in their thousands for the UK market in the eighties. Looks like the wheels and RD have been changed. Chainset in decent condition.
Make a good restoration project or a SS.
Can't be bad for nought.

Yup these aren't the more desirable Pugs, but they are easy to get and it's surprising how they can turn out, here's two I did.

By the way, I went waaaaaaayyyy OTT doing these, and if I ever do another I'd stick to a sympathetic resto rather than a full on resto mod.

Then again I'm sure that was my original plan for these two buggers

No silly threads at that age and Hle tubing and a nice ride so enjoy it.

This looks like the bike, the wheels are different though.

In all fairness get it mobile then ride it and make the decision , i would be surprised if you didn't enjoy it

Good idea, I usually go all guns then decide, I’ll give a wipe down and the tyres a pump and have a ride.

That's how i do it to get an impression

I really like the gun-metal grey colour of those old Peugeots. There's a similar version with a pearlescent white finish. Not high end, but really nice to ride IMO.

This is mine, given to me by a friend, I sent it to Bob Jackson's and had a full respray and re stickered, its only a P10 running Sora mechs, it was already 9 speed and came with Mavic sup pro wheels, rides lovely, although it does not get used much, to good to get rid of.
