Only took 42 days to arrive, but I got a Peugeot finally -
That's not an instragram filter, just a very very shitty camera..
The good -stem and seatpost all move freely, clipless pedals were easily removed too, looks like the cranks have been retapped to 9/16x20. Ace.
On the ebay ad I was told the size was 59x58, the ad on the site here it said it was 58x57, the reality (and better yet for me) is that it's 60x59 and fits quite nicely.
The not-so-good - french threaded BB, while not a total surprise and I can work with it, at the time this bike was built Peugeot were putting out their commercial bikes with British threading so I was hoping it could be the case here. Oh well.
The build - undecided really, it's quite nice as it is to be honest but I think the paleish blue could work well with a smattering of black components, I've a black bar and stem that need a home, black caged track pedals too, possibly black rims and gumwalls.. All something to think about anyway.
But I'll certainly change the saddle as I've already have one bike with a Regal and while it's alright I think this bike would do with something a little more late-80s/early-90s. Also could do with a larger chainring (46 => 48) and a nicer seatpost.
