eBay and Craigslist finds

I beg to differ. Carbolite, HLE Peugeots are nothing special just a little above Hi-Ten (debatable) but with impossible to find seatpost sizes and obscure french threads. £90 is way too much I'd much rather buy something decent from here for less. The parts? They're shit. After all the bike probably only cost about the asking price when it was new.

Do yourself a favour and at least buy something made from reynolds quality tubing!

going to chim in.

all of the aboard is right, apart from the BB thread, Peugeot sometime do have English BB.

and while Carbolite HLE are cheap steel, it's reasonably light for a standard gauge tubing.
