Peugeot Savoie

[biggs682]

Latest arrival is this very original Peugeot Savoie touring bike.

Reynolds 531 main tubing , nice chromed front forks etc etc. Looks just like some fresh grease,cables,tyres and a tweak on the wheels to true them up and it will be good to go .

a 15 minute session in the garage this morning swapping wheels over as i need to get the original set trued up and maybe re spoked , and i can confirm rear hub is a helomatic one and both hubs are date stamped early 87 so that all fits in , with what the original owner said re age .

headset and bottom bracket stripped and cleaned and rebuilt with some fresh grease just waiting for wheels now to be ready at lbs roll on saturday

Fingers crossed for some decent weather for you, the rain I went to work in this morning mudguards would not have helped!

Lovely bike! looks just like a bigger version of my old vinesse! (mine had the PH501 with carbolite 103 fork) dated to 1985. believed to be an original french manufactured as it had the old french badge on the seat tube by the bottom bracket with the name of a small bike shop I assume as it's untraceable.


it changed a bit in my ownership with new tyres a comfortable seat compared to the old moleskin saddle. New bar tape as the red I found was a bit garish for me. added pannier rack and Crudz road race2 mud guards! very nice bikes and lovely to ride. do still miss mine and shame I sold it really!

The cow seems to like it too! Probably just checking the saddle's not leather
