Hi, for sale is a Rotary Rapide 10 speed racer which was built by Peugeot. I've upgraded the bike with lots of nice components and tried to keep it French where possible. The headset and bottom bracket have been serviced and everything on the bike runs smooth and quiet.
The frame is steel, 58cm square c-c, not sure what tubing, but it's quite light with no dents or other damage. The first upgrade was some Simplex Prestige downtube shifters and a matching rear mech making the shifting much smoother.
The cockpit is an unbranded alloy quill with Philippe Guidons drop bars wrapped in new tape. The original brakes were terrible, so I've fitted modern Shimano SLR dual pivot callipers with cartridge pads, teamed with Shimano aero levers.
The wheels are nice 27" Wolber alloy box section rims with eyelets laced to quick release Pellisier hubs, and I've fitted new Continental Ultrasport tyres.
The chainset is the original SR Custom one, but I've switched out the pedals for a decent pair of alloy quill type with medium Christophe toe cages and nylon Christophe straps.
Finally I've included an almost new Brooks B17 saddle, although if Brooks aren't your thing I've got lots of alternatives including cheaper options.
With the Brooks saddle I'm asking £220£215 £200 o.n.o collected from London E14, although I can deliver locally and post via 24hr courier nationwide for £20. With a different saddle I'm looking for more like £190£185 £175 o.n.o. Please PM me with any questions, I've got a mountain of parts so if you'd prefer different handlebars, pedals etc let me know as I'm happy to swap parts out, thanks for looking... SOLD.
