Is that 5700? if so I would be interested if this guy isn't. Thanks

Mine was clicking when I bent the axle, it bent slightly because I rode it around with a bit of play in it. I failed to study the finer points of tightening up coaster brakes.
Usually though, creaking or clicking will be down to lack of grease, so repack it full of grease, I tend to regrease the my hub if it gets too hot from over use.

Got some ITM anatomica bars, an ITM 'big one' stem and some dura-ace levers. Wrapped it up in Bontrager gel cork tape this afternoon. Is it wrong to leave the currently useless lever on so I can ride the hoods?

Thanks to Varno for the wheels, and advice from the old Peugout thread on where to get a seatpost that fits the stupid french frame. Also got a Giant EXT adjustable stem, it splits in two so acts a bit like a face off. Also, it had yellow on it.
Went along to a local cycle club meeting at a 400m track ( I think it was an athletics track) for a floodlit training session they do on mondays. Some confused looking glances to begin with then some sprinting and pack riding where they all ride at 17mph and you have to sprint ahead, catch up and join the back of the pack again.
Going to go again next week, kept up fine, didn't die, nice blokes.I think it highlighted a need to put some drops on, I have some ITM Anatomica 44 bars but no brake levers other than some gold eighties dia-compe jobbies with a double action lever so you can use them from the top of the bars.

Thank you, I find searching the forum from my phone too tedious.

Hi, I was getting a nice mobile version of the forum when using androids browser, it has since disappeared, it had blue boxes around posts, and yellow around your own posts. I just get the full version on my phone now.

Seatpost is from decathlon, original wasnt quite long enough.
its not exactly the right size, but come with a shim, that if you cut in half fits pretty well.
heres the one
http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/l330-basic-diam-23-4-25-27-2-35412401/
pretty cheap and looks nice (IMO)I'd just like to add, I did go and buy this as it was only a tenner, much appreciated ( I'm sure decathlon has been mentioned as supplying smaller seatposts elswhere too).
The seatpost itself is good and solid, looks much better than what I had (older three piece seat clamp and very short post), however the seatpost is slightly too small, as you mentioned.
The smaller of the two shims was far too thick to get the post fitted into my 80's HLE frame, not sure if seat tube sizes vary within the Peugeot family throughout the years? Anyway, I cut a coke can into a flat sheet, and made a shim from one wrap of that around the post, which fits perfectly.
Hope this helps if anyone else has any trouble.
Cheersedit: 103 frames should have 23.4mm seatposts, which matches the decathlon with no shim, I assumed HLE 'mangalloy' was the same as 103, so I cant figure out why my seat tube size lies somewhere between that and the 26.4mm of frames like the PX-10, the closest match seems to be the '78> Versailles, which is 23.8mm
So maybe all HLE frames are 23.8mm in which case this seatpost will need a .4mm shim, which it isn't supplied with.
I would take it for £250 posted if nobody else is? Wouldn't mind seeing some photo's first.
