Hi All,
This is my first time here, so hopefully I don't break too many forum rules and etiquette..
I read all of this post, it's great to see all of these beautiful bikes being modified and restored to their former glory. This site really is a top source of detailed information - so many thanks to all of those taking the time to reply to posts and share their knowledge and experience.
I wanted to share the start of my project - I picked her up today, she'd been knocked over, and was lying on the floor in the rain at a bike market:
I found the original '86 brochure featuring this model after searching this forum..

So it's an '86 PGN 10 GS GOLD SPECIAL but unfortunately the gears have been changed to Shimano 105, and the original handlebars, saddle, peddles and 80's bling gold chain have been replaced.
I believe I need to read further, to see if I have to replace the BB - and if so, I'll have to find out if it's a French, Swiss or British thread.. I'm hoping it's British as it's from '86 and I read that later in the '80's all BB thread's were changed to British.
I have an old fixed gear bike already:
so.. I was hoping to be able to use some of the components on the Pug, although a little rusty in places, the hub at the back, the wheels and the crank are all Campagnolo..
Do you guys have any tips for me as a complete newcomer to this, and specifically does anyone know whether I'll be able to salvage some of these Campagnolo components to use with the Pug?
Cheers in advance..
