@BTR88 Scan didn't upload sorry, I'll try another time when I decide to switch the laptop on, regarding the stem, I'd like it lower as it looks a bit strange how it is now, however will see when I have to seat post out and set to my acquired height.

I've been lurking on the forum for a while but not under any username. I recently acquired this Peugeot for £85 from a local cycle jumble. It is no working condition. I aim to fix it up a change a few things to make it look a little less ugly. I'm only 15 so have little funds so the bike will end up looking a little beater-ish. It will be used for short-ish rides with friends, commuting around town and for the school run when I wake up late.It has Columbus Aelle tubing and Shimano RSX groupset.
What I am planning of doing is:
-Remove seized seat post (buy new one if needed)
-Fix broken right shifter
-Good clean
-Fit new chain
-New saddle
-New Cables
-New Tyres
-New Handlebar Tape
-Different Pedals
-New stem?
I also found this catalogue showing the bike in it's original spec.
Any help/suggestions would be great. Cheers, Tom.

@JT also a fan of the bar tape but I think it needs replacing , and id have to strip it to change stem, fix right hand shifter etc.
Also going to dib a bit of oil around the seat post every night this week and then see how it Is at the weekend. Anyone have any suggestions saddles wise ? I currently run a turbo on my other peugeot, but considering a second hand flite I saw on Hillary stone, what's everybody's opinion?
