Hi All
Complete novice here, really great thread, been reading it on and off for a week and it has taught me a great deal.
Picked up a cheap Peugot, looks like a Tourmalet 1986, but the code is wrong, PE10N 60
I've stripped the parts and given it a good clean.
Here are all the parts I've taken off, I'll most likely reuse the brake levers.
Brake Levers = Weinmann
Front Derailleur = Shimano FD-TY20
Rear Derailleur = SACHS HURET - 3187
Brakes = Weinmann Type 500
My mate has a new flip flop rear wheel from a Foffa Prima 2013 sitting around, he's going to bring it round tomorrow, hopefully it will fit and the chainline wont be too wonky.
I think my BB is a french type so I am going to have make do with a 52/16 ratio, first time riding single speed, will my knees die?
Also are the brakes safe to reuse?
Thanks, been really enjoying looking at all the bikes, some great inspiration.
