I have a small Peugeot PH10s bike for sale. It is a 50cm frame so suitable for someone between 5"2 and 5"6 ish. This was the smallest non mixte frame size available at the time.

This 1983 racer has just been serviced and is ready to ride away! The headset and bottom bracket are tight, the wheels are true and the gear shifting is accurate. The bike is in really good condition for a nearly 30 years old steed, it has been kept indoors so no rust. Very low miles on this one so the drivetrain is in really good condition.

The ‘Jacques Suire’ specification is pretty good compared to a run-of-the-mill PH10S. Jacques Suire was born in 1943 and amassed over 250 racing victories both on the road and on the track (http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/palmares/suire_jacques.php)

Grab a cup of tea, it’s starting now:

Frame: Metallic Blue Peugeot 103 Carbolite tubing internally brazed with braze-on cable guides and stops, bottle cage fittings (comes with a cage) and chain rest. Centre to centre, seat tube is 50cm, top tube is 52cm. Spacing is 100mm front, 126mm rear. The frame number is 1961524 PH10S 50 – Y201 00546.
Saddle & seatpost: San Marco Rolls ‘Due’ – Stamped 1999, this is a narrower version of the standard Rolls. 24mm fluted alloy seatpost stamped 1983
Handlebar & Stem: 42cm bars with 70mm ATAX alloy racing stem. Brand new black bar tape.
Brakes: CLB aluminium 48-65 callipers, good pads, UK cable routing, Suntour SL Aero levers with hoods in really good condition.
Crankset & BB: Square taper French bottom bracket (very tight with no play), Peugeot branded chainset (which is be a Solida 5170 alloy), 170mm arms, 14x1.25 pedal thread.
Pedals: Union Quill U44 W. Germany (French threaded), Christophe 1** chrome toe-clips and black Lapize plastic straps.
Derailleur: Simplex SX810 6 speed rear derailleur (branded Peugeot), Simplex double front derailleur, SJ downtube shifters.
Wheelset: Maillard hubs (stamped 1981), Maillard Helicomatic 6 speed freewheel 13-21, Spidel skewers, Mavic Module E700c Rims, 700x20 Michelin BIB TS20 clincher tyres – wheels are true, hubs are smooth, tyres have good thread.

Altogether, this is a great little bike, seriously fast too in the 52x13 gear. 50cm frames don’t come up often so grab it while you can - I am only after £SOLD for it.

The bike is at my office in Chancery Lane, come for a test ride and ride it home if you like it!

I’m sure I have forgotten something so please ask if you need more details. Photo galore below

Cheers
