Peugeot Performance 1000?

Okay, so I posted this on the "current projects" forum but now that I've made three posts and can post new topics I thought I would make a proper post.

Just bought this earlier...

First bike in 15 years or more. All I know is that it says Peugeot Performance 1000 on it, has 14 gears and was made 1992 or onwards...going to keep it with the gears for while then make it single unless I find something else I like. Anyone any info on this bike? I had the choice of two peugeot frames but the other was about 60cm...just too big.

Any info at all would be great...cant find anything online.

I reckon it's a Peugeot

Ah....

Really not much to know about it. It´s an early 90ies entry level road bike. I ride a performance 5000 as a beater, serves it´s purpose. Just ride it.

may be of help.

Don't be a wuss, go fixed, try it you might like it!

I was just out on it and almost got knocked off by a dodgy spide and his little boy racer car!
Not so sure about the whole changing gears...think I might spend sometime next week making it a single speed then see about fixed. I drive a lot and felt a bit unsafe without mirrors...guess I'll get over that.

Thanks for the links!

Cycle training. Get some.

Looks like a peogeot to me

I thought that but I now think it's something else...a peugeot maybe.

I'm curious to know how much you paid for the pug (if you don't mind telling that is !)...I saw one of these for sale very recently and wasn't sure wether it was a bargain or not at £130 ???
