Does anyone know any good mechanics who would restore a bike for me?

Hi, I have a Peugeot PX-10 sitting around that I have wanted to restore myself for some time but I do not have the time / I am worried I won't do such a lovely retro bike justice. The frame itself is in very good condition but it is more sourcing / fitting components, cabling etc.

Does anyone know any body who would be willing to restore this bike for me or any companies that offer this service?

Thanks
Lewis

There are loads of places that specialise in retro rebuilds. Depends where you are.

Sargent and Co. in Highbury might also fit the bill.

Never used them myself. Always liked the look of the shop though.

Cheers for the recommendations, I'm based in Essex so anything in London, Essex, Kent will be fine.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
