hey does anyone know if Peugeot made their bikes with shimano running gear in the 1960s? my Peugeot is a racer i don't think its a px10 mainly because it...
Any pictures? The common Peugeot that would have had steel rims was the UO-8 12 speed would have been odd for 1969 unless it was a high end model. And it ...
try this website. Peugout did not use anything but french parts until the late 1970's. SOunds like a AO8, check out this website http://www.peugeotshow.com/...
Good to see things picking up a bit on the group. Still seeking Falcon, Mercian and Condors. I recently took over ownership of a forum as well. We have a...
I have a 21.5" Supreme frame (Columbus tubing, one of the Italian-built Loti) that's currently sporting a unicrown fork, probably from a mountain bike. I'd...
great! that's what i want to hear i didn't want some fake french shimano bike. i figured out the date because when i bought it had a piece of paper with 1969...
Brandon, that is a 80's rear wheel, not original. not really a mistery. Gary ... From: brandon To: Bicycle_Restoration@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday,...
I've never heard of a Normandy cassette. Whether it is original equipment or a replacement wheel, it still sounds mysterious to me! Anyone have info on...
... equipment or a replacement wheel, it still sounds mysterious to me! Anyone have info on such a creature? ... I looked all over the internet and couldn't...
The front wheel could be from the 80's as well. I has to be a Mallard hellicomatic. The correct rin from that era is a Ridida steel rim, with water channels...
Okay the pics are on here in peugeot or you can click on new photos. i have very little experience on french freewheels so it could be one but from looking at...
Hi Brandon, Yep, it's a freewheel. It's probably a Suntour. If you want to rebuild the hub you will need a 2 prong freewheel remover. It's just the lack of...
I wanted to know from you that use Craigslist, the flagging has got out of control in Mpls. Some ad's do not last over 5 min.has anyone found this in your...
The selling is the tough part. I have a friend that goes to yard sales pretty much all day Saturdays. He finds loads of passably nice bikes, usually for a tiny...
Another idea is to try selling to a shop that does fixed gear conversions or deals in used bikes. If parts are cheap enough, I'm almost always interested...
The flagging in Detroit has gotten pretty bad as well. I admit, the sellers that get flagged are usually the guys that post the same stuff EVERY DAY or ask...
Here in Austin, there's not a lot of flagging in the bikes classifieds. But Boy, if you go into the Rants and Raves section...! However, there are a lot of...
thanks steve for the offer but i live in australia had a good look and its a french freewheel never seen one before only traditional shimano freewheels and...
Yeah, that would be a bit of a long trip. Hope you're well away from the fires. With the freewheel being French thread you don't have many choices if you want...
A couple months ago I asked the list about the structural safety of a very rough, corroded Cannondale Criterium Series aluminum frame I had acquired. After...
Thanks Forbes, I'm hoping it will be a good bike for that time in the spring when the ice is gone and the weather is great but the street sweeper hasn't...
Thanks Steve thankfully i live far away from the fires i live on the NSW coast so no fires. about the shifters i will buy them but could i see some pictures of...
Hi Curt, Are you going to put any kind of clear coat over the raw aluminum? I'm toying with the idea of stripping my Cannondale and going with the raw look. ...
"I might add a couple flame decals?" Aw... I kinda like them nekked. Yours, - Forbes Black, Santa Clarita, CA Cycloculture - A Journal for Real World...
Jay, I do not plan to put anything except wax on the frame at this point. A couple folks from the list suggested that the bare aluminum would 'oxidize' and...
I'm not entirely sure it would work, but you might be able to do some fancy painting with anodizing dyes before you wax it. I may experiment with that later...
... some fancy painting with anodizing dyes before you wax it. ... Anodizing requires that the piece be immersed in sulfuric acid until the acid etches the raw...
