I know diddly squat about Peugeot bikes but this PF N10 is on offer for €95 . Looks quite nice....whats the informed CC opinion ?

Looks decent enough and is that a Vitus decal by the gear levers ?

Cheap decals off eBay? Just a thought ...

probably, i still dont understand why, apart from because he wanted to , obviously

The advert states that the seller's re-painted the bike, so I'm guessing it was because Forme decals aren't easy to find / are too expensive.

1948 Holdsworth La Quelda with a mix of parts £175 start. Bare metal finish not to my tastes but could be stunning with a lick of paint.

Slightly scruffy 21" Sirius with 653 tubing and late-80s shimano 105. Currently £2.20(!) in Worcester.

Shame about the hammerite on this 60's Mercian. £40 start in Liverpool.

Yep, looks like Vitus 172 - probably just the main tubes. I have a mystery French bike with the same tubing. It rode very nicely until one day the chainrings sheared off the crank arm . It's hung in the cellar and been slow cannibalised for parts ever since...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Gents-Raleigh-Wayfarer/273695411327 very tempted by this one myself

One of my customers came in the other night with a really shiny, almost new looking black Wayfarer, nice comfy ride he said

that's gotta be worth a watch! Where did you get 653 from?

Looks very tight wheel to down tube clearance though

Squinting at the Reynolds decal on the forks (which obviously doesn't guarantee it is). Squinting again, it might even say 753... hard to make out on my phone.

@biggs682 see what you mean about the forks but with the angle of the bike and poor photos it's hard to tell.

@biggs682 .. I found something similar I think?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXCEPTIO...635?hash=item5218ab197b:g:0RsAAOSw-RFccEUF:rk

Won this with a single bid of £50 so not too bad I think?

that's in great condition - barely looks like it's been ridden!

 

[stalagmike]

Nice looking GT with low start for those up north

I'm picking it up tomorrow morning then lunch at Witherspoons.
PS.. and I've only got to do 75 miles to get it, better the the 130 on the other bike?

The funny thing was I offered him £60 and he said no so I let it ride and I put £60 on a normal bid and mine was the only bid so he lost a tenner.. or I gained a tenner. I think he was a tad miffed about it only making the £50.
