I started this project at the peak of Covid in 2020. My world has been through many changes and challenges since then. There were a few random parts I needed, and finally acquired, but this bike has been on the back burner for far too long. I basically rebuilt the bike with a mix of modern and original components. The parts that are new are: The tires, rims, rear brake cable stop, brake cables, chain, and spokes. Everything else is random junkyard parts I've saved through the years.
When I found this bike, I thought it was just way too cool to meet its demise this way....
What a journey!
Special Thanks to my partner Tina for filming the last segments of the video at the park near our house in Aurora Colorado! I wish I could have gotten a video section of the two of us riding the bike simultaneously, but much fun nonetheless...

This brings back memories. The only things missing are the bicycle wheel wingnuts.

Your opening words were beautiful. Hope you're OK. I really enjoy your work. Thanks.

@JoeyMesa 10 месяцев назад

You're very welcome! I appreciate your kind words. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. I'm doing well. Hopefully soon I'll have a better personal shop space to film more in depth videos.

UO8s were very common. But decently built. Nice work.

The internal 3 speed hub was a nice touch over a standard fixie conversion. Nice work!

@JoeyMesa 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! 👍 The hub is actually an 8 speed hub. I've got a few of them from years ago when I worked for NuVinci. The general idea I had for this bike was like a fixie type conversion, but with an internal geared hub. Anyway, Thanks again for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!

Great opening, music and job! Be well Joey! (By the way, my first bike was a Peugeot similar to this one.)

If this bike were made with double butted cro-moly tubing, it was still worth plenty. After the wheels were replaced, and the Simplex components were replaced with modern aluminum Shimano components, and you got a new seat, You would have a truly 1st class bicycle.

@escapegoat3472 9 месяцев назад

It's an entry level bike. Look at the components. Tubing will be basic. Unbutted. That's not to say it's not worth saving. Older entry level bikes are much better made than modern entry level. Just don't expect it to be worth anything.

You know you're old school when you're working with loose ball bearings. Nice restoration.

@JoeyMesa 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! And thanks for taking the time to watch the video and leave a comment, I really appreciate it!

Nice video, nice music. I have pretty much the same, in green. I kept it from my teenage years early 80s. It has three gears in the front. It is a very good bike. I did thousands of touring miles on it. It’s all still original. Campagnolo, etc… all made in France and Italie. I have mixed feeling about not keeping it original. There are newer frames on which such modern components could be used.

@JoeyMesa 10 месяцев назад

It sounds like your bike is much nicer, original component wise than this one. I have another bike I restored that had a Columbus steel frame with Campagnolo super record case components. Obviously I kept that bike original, but this Peugeot was a pretty entry level model. I wanted to give it a second life as a functional rider, get it rolling with minimal cost investment, plus find actual parts during the peak of covid, which was a separate challenge in itself! Anyhow, I appreciate your feedback, and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

@pascalbruyere7108 10 месяцев назад

@@JoeyMesait does indeed look a lot more functional. Mine has a narrow road style handlebar positioned quite low for aerodynamics. Not great for cruising. Then there are these non indexed shifters on the down tube… but I am so used to them, I instinctively find the right position. There are 5 cogs in the back. 10 speeds original turned into 15 for touring.

Merci!

@JoeyMesa 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Denis!!!

@escapegoat3472 9 месяцев назад

Hi Joey. Nice video. Are they thd original brake pads? They look like steel rim pads. I think youll have much better stopping power with alu rim pads. I may be wrong there though. Hard to tell from the video.

@GuilleeemXxCoD 9 месяцев назад

Nice build! Did you have any problem with the bottom bracket threads? Thanks!

@JoeyMesa 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for taking the time to comment/ask a question! The threads in the bottom bracket shell were in very good condition.They were standard BSA English threads. I think I ran a Park Tool BB tap through both sides as there was a little paint on the threads, but the old BB came out fairly easily, and the hollowtech II BB went in nicely by hand!

@JakeL-io4wg 9 месяцев назад

I'm looking to custom build a bike that has no air tires, limited spokes and can hold 600 lbs. I was wondering if that would interest you?

@JoeyMesa 8 месяцев назад

My experience with no air tires is that it's too harsh on the wheels. Spokes work loose or break, plus the ride is very harsh. I have no interest in this setup.

@se7ensnakes 10 месяцев назад

The first thing you need to do is get rid of that hideous front reflector

@JoeyMesa 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, they made them large back in the day!
