I did something incredibly stupid - Peugeot Frameset bought - I think it's a PX-10

[Baron von Zach]

What else is new?




But then again, since when am I responsible for my actions?

I can't help noticing that there are a few bits missing.........

 

[Baron von Zach]

Be it as it may, but there is chromium plating and that counts.
As for the missing bits, they are terribly French I have you know.
I told you it was a stupid thing to do.

 

[DCLane]

So what did you do that was stupid?

Oh, and if that's stupid, I'm with stupid this evening

 

[DCLane]

Do you have a case of eBay finger too? I am terminal, BTW!

Not telling until it arrives. But then I bought these two last week:

 

[Baron von Zach]

Guilty as charged re. eBay finger.

The stupid thing is that nothing fits. This is a proudly metric French frameset.
And I knew this when I bought it.

But since I have one of Peugeot's fine peppermills AND one their fine motorcars, I just couldn't resist.

Would you please refrain from posting NSFW pornography in my thread?
I just had a trouser incident because of you!

Not gonna lie, I am not a fan of the Twenty. But the other purchase is cool.
It looks (by the pic) in really good condition. But price is everything.

The Twenty's being evaluated for next year's 1230km Paris-Brest-Paris.

The Peugeot's now got decals (not perfectly accurate, but close), rear wheel sorted today along with cables and was worth buying . However it might not stay - not sure yet.

You are right. My Puch Mini is just so* much** betterer***.

 

[DCLane]

If you ever fancy selling, let me know please @DCLane
Please.

I'll know in the next week - and if it's for sale I'll let you know. Basically I don't need two vintage bikes, so one of the Peugeot or the new arrival in a few days will have to go.

Very nice..

French thread on everything?...that’s all part of the fun

Seeing as you've gone all Francais-ish on us, I have a rooly nice set of Normandy low flange competition hubs just looking for something like a PX10

Have had far too many Peugeots - a couple of 203s, a 404, two 306s - one a GTI6 with a Quaife LSD, a 505 GTI and a lust for a 407 or 504 coupe.

 

[Baron von Zach]

You can't have had too many Peugeots.
I had a 404, several 504s, a 604 and now my fifth 405.
