Continuing the conversation from current project here, I don't want to pollute any further your Peugeot / Suire track bike thread with non related stuff...
Evening. Not much to add to Rik's comprehensive list, just a possible saddle option (which is no less pocket-draining than decent Philippe bars or a good Ideale saddle). Have a look at Gilles Berthoud -
I've seen these in the flesh and was not so impressed, especially considering their prices. Once I've put pics of my MBK you'll see that brown or black cannot fit... I need flashy colours or white...
On Gilles Berthoud, I had their mudgards, and as opposed to the saddle, I though they were really good, much stronger than the VO ones. No noises, clever fittings, etc... I would re-use them any time if I was building another touring bike.
While we're on mudgards, and sorry if this has been mentionned before above, but Salmon mudgards are great and the most elegant things.
A guy who comes to a lot of jumble stock them and their relevant fixing parts, his compagny is called "Hard To Find" (you can source all sort of rare parts with him) I fail to find his website, as it's under another name as well if I remember well. Good contact anyway!
