Peugeot Professionel 500 - Frame, fork (bent) and headset

Top tube (c-c) - 58cm
Seat tube (c-t) - 60cm

Spent a very happy summer or two commuting on this, but it's sat in my spare room for too long. It deserves to be ridden. Lovely condition 531 frame, and a beautiful paintjob with only a few paint rubs here and there.

Biggest issue: the frame/fork was sold as being in perfect condition, and it certainly looked it when i picked it up, but once I got it built up I realised the handling was somewhat 'funky'. I suspect the forks have been bent in a head-on shunt. I never got around to sourcing some replacements, but they were fine for the couple of years I spent commuting on it.

Comes with a 105 headset that's still doing it's thing, bearing were replaced not too long before I got a new frame, and there's a 105 front derailleur on there - that's got a crack all the way through the metal shifting bit (technical term), but again, it worked so I just left it as is.

£50 - and collection only for now, unless someone's desperate for me to send it. I'm living up in the midlands now, but I'm down every week or so. That means I can be around for collection in SE18, or take it to my office in Tottenham Court Road.

Bent frame and a cracked derailer for £50? Bargain

The frame isn't bent, just the fork – I had the frame alignment checked at Fitzrovia Cycles, and they gave the fork a bit of a tweak.

Thanks for the snarky reply, though. :)
