Currently own the Raleigh Equipe

The merckx replica I built from a raleigh record sprint 501 and wish I hadn't sold it

The puch is a single speed I made up but never really use...

The peugeot is currently being repurposed as a cx tyred commuter

This is my 1988 Peugeot Premiere Sport, picked it up for £20 last year at a jumble sale! Really nice bike but weighs a ton.

i like this Peugeot
hope you don't mind....'washed' it through PS Elements

This is my 1984 Raleigh Record Ace which I've had since new. It's mainly original except for the Mavic MA40s

just an update to the 1985 Peugeot Loire P10PG
nothing drastic but running nicely now

after a few [helpful] comments - removed the computer...
found a 1950s Brooks B15 Narrow, and a set of wider Guidons Philippe engraved bars on eBay France,
fitted a 36/50T crank, to suit the Maillard 5speed freewheel, and Simplex DT shifters
added brown bar-tape [ not as dark as i hoped...still looking.! ]

thanks for looking..........john

 

[arch684]

looks good but would look better with a brown saddle to match the bar tape

Bars are compliments of @biggs682. Not sure about them yet having never used that style before, but I like the look of them and I really hope I like them in use when I finally get to ride it in anger

Hi all, loving all the vintage bikes here. A few years back found a 1962 raleigh gran sport neglected in my dads old garage, so renovated her and joined this forum to share.

Looking very good, thanks for sharing! Did you get it repainted? If so, where?

@andy88 that is stunning!
