70s / 80s Peugeot mixte

Currently sat gathering rust in my garage. Carbolite 103, looks to be mainly original parts although the brake calipers did disintegrate so I swapped them for some near identical ones from ebay. I seem to remember replacing the cables at some point. I did ride it for a bit, mainly for a laugh as it's far too small for me, but will probably need a bit of cleaning and adjusting.

Collection from Sheffield. £Beer money.

Ooh Mrs Knees would like that - she always hankers after a handle bar that sweeps back. What size is it / what size rider would it suit?

I'm 5'10" so usually a medium in modern bikes, and it was definitely too small for me, I had about three inches more seatpost exposed than is on that photo. I don't recall seeing any size written on the frame but I can get out tomorrow with a tape measure.

Cheers. Mrs K is 5'7" and although she rides with a low saddle despite my (apparently unhelpful) suggestions otherwise, it may be a tad small?

Sorry for the wait, I couldn't get out to th e garage any earlier.

Still there, if a bit rustier. Going to the tip tomorrow if I can fit it in the car with all the hedge trimmings.

That would suit my daughter , but Shefield is a bit far.

If it’s going to the tip can I take it for beer money for the bars and/or to see if it fits Mrs K? Could collect in the evening tomorrow?

That's absolutely fine, don't worry about the beer money. It's been sat in a rather damp garage for so long that it will certainly need a bit of a clean up.

I still have your roof bag by the way...
