For Sale: Peugeot 700c Road Bike

Hey guys, thanks for looking at my thread!

My names Charlie and i'm new to the LFGSS- i'm a mountain biker/CX by trade :-) I was going to list this bike on eBay, but to avoid expensive fee's, I thought i'd try here first; you lot seem to know what your on about!

Anyway:

For sale is my Peugeot Pure Gold retro road bike.

I believe its a 1982 model, however, it is in amazing condition for its age! Only has very little surface rust on the rims, thats it! Made with Peugeots Carbolite 103 tubing. Would look the nads with drop bars on it, I simply don't have the space for it.

The only problem is the rear wheel is buckled and would need replacing, front wheel is slightly buckled, but useable.

It has 12 gears, all work, very well I must add. The mechs are both Sachs Huret. The bike has a brown leather Brooks saddle which is very comfortable. Currently has normal uprise bars with bar tape instead of grips- I found this comfier.

700c wheels, bog standard Weinmann road brakes and are very sharp! Will come with basic slick tyres (not the Specialized ones picture) and some basic silver pedals.

Would make a great hack for work (which is what I used it for, however i've recently bought a new bike on the Cycle-To-Work scheme), or an ideal base for a project. Any buyer would not be disappointed.

As you've probably gathered, I don't know too much about road bikes, certainly not retro ones! I'll try and answer any questions you may have, ASAP.

**I genuinely have no idea of its worth so I will be accepting offers! **

Judging by other threads though, the seat must be worth a fair bit alone, may consider splitting! Maybe some could tell me what sort of region I should be expecting?

It will be posted by Parcel Force or DHL- most likely same day (certainly within 3 working days), boxed and very well bubbled wrapped (i'm located in Lincolnshire), so please take this into consideration on any offers. I presume you guys use PayPal? I would prefer that to be honest.

I'm going to attempt to upload some pictures I took earlier on my phone, so don't be too harsh on me if it goes wrong.

I'm looking forward to your replies!

Thanks, Charlie

Nice'n honest, but youve gotta put a price on it dude

What size is it?

Thanks mate, i've been ripped off myself on eBay in the past and hate the feeling, so i'd rather be honest with everyone.

Ok, as I said I genuinely have no idea what this is worth!

Including P&P, deep down, i'd like £90 judging by what i've seen on eBay and the various components would fetch on here. I'm happy to entertain offers though! I may even be far too low, who knows!? Certainly not me haha!

I have just measured the frame as I forgot that on my first post, I make it 21inch x 21inch. In the picture, the seat is slightly too low for me (5'10''), so I would estimate it would fit someone 5'6'' to 5'11''.

Looks like a 21 inch frame to me....but might be wrong

IMO I guess £70 would be a good price for it??? But yeh you need to price it up dude!

Or £90 lol

Well to be honest, i'm glad for your opinion!

I imagine the postage alone will be £20. I'll see if theres any interest anyway :-)

£90 seems fair, good luck with the sale

dibs!

This bikes still available people, sacredhart doesn't want it anymore.

PM any offers, i'll get back to you ASAP. Cheers!

Any takers at £60 posted?

Need to get rid of this ASAP really :-)

Stick it on Gumtree for £120

I'm not in London though, think its going to go on eBay if it doesn't sell soon.

what would postage to London be?

outside of replacing the back wheel and fixing replacing the front is it in need of anything else to get it on the road?

thanks,
M

£60 would include postage (most likely to be Parcel Force) to London.

Its all OK and ready to go apart from the back wheel- it goes etc but as its buckled, I find it makes it slow to ride.

I'm currently waiting for a reply from someone who has PM'd me earlier, but if I don't hear back, you can obviously have it.

If you'd like 2nd dibs, PM me and i'll let you know if I hear back later on :)

Charlie

You can get £3o just for a saddle easy
