I bought the bike from a dealer who buys up huge quantities of "bicycle scrap".
I paid €80.00 for this bike.
It is a Peugeot with a 103 Carobolite frame. It must have survived a small accident at some point, because the frame is a bit compressed. Fortunately, no one wants to ride this bike in the Tour de France anymore, so it doesn't matter. 😃
I decided to use squeaky green Bowden cables for this restoration because they pick up the colour scheme of the bike.
I still had the Schwalbe Luganos in the basement, no idea where they came from. 😊
😊 The gears must have once been a Simplex groupset, someone mounted a Shimano Tourney rear derailleur over the years - looks terrible. 😐
I found a Sachs Huret rear derailleur with matching (NEW😃😃😃) front derailleur on the internet, looks better but will it work?
I had a lot of help with the restoration. For one thing, I didn't have a fitting bottom bracket tool and I couldn't get the figure eight out of the rear wheel. So off to the bicycle workshop!
If anyone is interested in the mudguards that I no longer have, they can be collected from me in Cologne. Please send me a short PN!
