Having decided to do another Peugeot restoration, I have acquired my new project frame 
More pics HERE
It's nothing special but as it's a 62cm frame it's the right size, (unlike my last one!), and it was very cheap.
I'm going to do a 10 speed conversion, fit a hollowtech II bottom bracket, (cups screw straight in!), STi shifters, barrel adjusters replace the shifter on the downtube, and an aHead stem conversion to stretch the front end out. I doubt it will appeal to everyone, (maybe anyone), but i've got a serious itch to build a retro frame with modern components as my new winter bike.
I've banged the Halo wheels on it just to make it look more like a bike, but the dropouts need properly re-spacing for a 10 speed conversion, so that will be my starting point.
It will get re-painted and new decals, but that's last on my list once it's built up, tested and I'm happy.
I'm on the lookout for a 105 black groupset, or even odd 105 black components if anyone knows of any.
I'm hoping to have it ready for the Cat & Fiddle Challenge in October, (money permitting).
I'll post new pics when it's done and dusted
