Discovered this Small 52cm ANC-Halfords Peugeot Frame made from Carbolite tubing (believe me there's nothing 'lite' about Carbolite tubing!) By the looks of it it's mid late 80's and is designed for 700c wheels so no long-drop brake bollocks etc to get it up and running..... The paint work is really tatty otherwise i'd have done it up and flogged it some gullible hipster wannabe...!
1 - BB will need replacing/repacking, i've not tried to open it yet but will later...
2 - Alloy stem is welded to forks i've tried the hammering the stem bold trick to no avail, so gonna melt the fucker out with caustic soda later (wanted an excuse to do that for ages!)
3 - The headset actually feels ok, but may need replacing once the caustic soda has done its job...
4 - it'll need a seat post, not sure of the size but it's NOT 27.2mm - Snoops has my calipers so couldn't measure it....
Anyone interested once i've got it sorted out a bit...? Minimal cash wanted purely for my time sorting it out & parts (caustic soda, bearings etc)....
