1989 Peugeot Pro, Reynolds 753. Great condition, Surrey £300

First time poster, so advance apologies for any lack of form.

Selling my beloved Peugeot road bike. 22.5" frame, 22" top tube.

Made c. 1989-90, Reynolds 753 frame & forks, so super light for the era. I've stripped the forks to reveal the chrome and its pretty good. It comes with full Shimano 600 'Tricolor' groupset, including hubs & headset. I've made a couple of recent changes, moving from downtube shifters to STIs, and ditching the original Shimano 600 brakes for slightly newer versions. I also upgraded the Laprade seatpost to a Shimano 600 one. Frame has some chips and scrapes but is really very good for its age. One thing to note - the stem is seized. I don't thing this is too bad, as I had it out only a few months ago, and someone with a bit more brute force should have no problem freeing it up.

Frame 22.5"
Top Tube 22"
Reynolds 753
Brakes, front & rear derailluer, shifters, cranks, front and rear hubs, headset & seatpost - Shimano 600 'Tricolor'
Cassette - Shimano 13-26
Rims - Wolber Alpine T430
Tyres - Schwalbe Durano Plus
Saddle - Prologo Nago

The whole thing screams France - if Hinault had carried on for a few more years you could imagine him on this....

Needless to say, I've got through a fair few miles on this and it rides beautifully.

I would much prefer collection & either cash or paypal, and can courier as a last resort. Am based in Surrey but can meet in central London too. £300.

Loads of extra pics, pm if interested.

Thanks
Steve

Pm'd you

Hi! Did you measure the standover?

Hi, is 82cm.

Steve welcome to the forum :) nice looking machine and good price. Can I ask where you've measured the seat tube from? is it centre bb to centre of top tube or to top of seat tube? thanks Jon

Thanks Jon. Centre of crank to top of seat tube. I'm 5.9 (just about) and it a good fit, maybe a tiny tiny bit on the large size. Steve.

Thanks Steve realistically it'll be too big for me to but will help with the sale I'm sure. How come your selling it?

Thats a shame. Why do any of us sell? Because I have too many bikes / want a new one (actually both apply here!).... :)

I have sent the link to my brother he used to race on a Peugeot similar in the late 80's and nineties.

Now sold, thanks all

Mine, am thinking of doing an Anc replica.

That's a beaut

Need some pug forks as they are vitus. Thanks, you'll miss yours now!

I have a Perthus Pro in the same blue/white paint. It rides impeccably and the only issue I have had with it is that the right hand shifter boss dropped off. Not ideal but (as I have another 753 road bike) I'm now trying to decide if it's worth removing the other boss, respraying and keeping it as fixie.

Longgg shot, but wondered if this frame was 753, or 753r (race)?

Thanks

It was 753. I do have a 753r pug that I'm thinking about selling though..... ;)

Ohh oh oh, what sir good sir?

And secondly, can I ask, this bike looks the spitting image of yours in the original post, do you think the 753r sticker is incorrect?

Thanks!

do you think the 753r sticker is incorrect?

Unlikely. I've seen variants of the same colour in 531, 653 and 753

Yes I just saw the catalog with the models that cover 531, 653 and 753, but can't see 753r stated anywhere.

Also does have a frame in that white, red and blue scheme too.

Looks identical to the one I had. I'd heard that pugs made in France often view the 753r badge. I think it's legit. RX100 shifters though!
