Please sort out that Peugeot! Saddle height, bars height, bars angle. Pedals?

All sorted now, it had just come out of a bike box and was having “White roads” residue washed off .

Just finally finished fettling the bike to my style etc.

Nice photo.

 

[Denis99]

Thanks, Fuji X Pro 2 with 23mm f2 lens.

Fantastic camera

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Very upright front end (unless it's the terrible camera distorting it ), looks much steeper than the seat tube - was it a custom build originally?

 

[Denis99]

Bit of both, camera angle and a relatively steeper head angle.

Very comfortable

I have had this for 25 years now. I bought the frame set from Bike chain Ricci in Redruth, Cornwall.
A few years back I had it powder coated, which I kind of regret, as the paint was not that bad, and I lost the chrome on the rear stay. It does not get used much these days, but I cannot bring myself to sell it.

How are those wheels?

Nothing great by todays standards. Not the lightest or aero, but they are from the period and suit the bike. They are the second generation, the first were prone to snapping where the fork meets the rim.

That bike (if it's the one that's been on ebay for a while) was a bargain.

 

[Denis99]

Yes, bought from eBay last week.

Lovely bike, top quality equipment, lovely paint finish and lugless brazing.

Very pleased. Quite tempted to sell my ICE Adventure recumbent now.

The 27.5 / 29ers are huge compared to the 26 " bikes - long and slack - don't fit in the car too well. That said, they are amazing now. I was shocked how big my 27.5 was when I got it. My wif edidn't even like sitting on mine, with the seat post 'down' - you can't get your feet near the floor on the big bikes.
