Hello guys,
Just wanted to share with you one of my latest project.
Got this nice looking old Peugeot MTB from my girlfriend's dad, it was sitting in the garage and I liked the paintjob. Goal was to make it a nice and comfy commuter.
The bike was rideable but needed some love, front tyre was toasted and they forgot the code for the lock.
I didn't want to spend too much money on it so I kept as many original parts as I could. In the end I ended up spending arround £100. The bike got fresh big tyres, a new drivetrain (Ofmega crankset was found on FB marketplace), got the Wald basket for £3 on FB market (great deal!) and fitted a chrome moustache bar I had in stock. I set up the bike in 1x8 with the classic sunrace shifters.
Very happy with the result, the bike has already found its new owner but I used it for a bit and was super happy with how it rides, very enjoyable!
