French made Peugeot HLE Carbolite, 5 speed.
** I'd rather keep this bike geared,** however I know how difficult it is to find parts which will still fit my bike, so may have to make a compromise.

I'm wanting to buy a new brown vintage saddle, and wondering if I will need a new fitting for the saddle? (This seat post doesn't seem to have the correct attachments?!)
Also, anyone have any recommendations for good priced, simple, brown leather vintage saddles?

Ideally i'd like a new derailleur in the near future, but can't seem to find one apart from this one at the bottom of the sites page:

As with the wheel set, I want to keep the bike as a 5 speed.
I have no problem finding the rims and spokes I want to build new wheels, but when looking for new hubs is a nightmare. They are currently 'Maillard 87' hubs, made in France.
Any help would be much appreciated.
