Thanks for all the feedback - very useful.

I didn't buy it to sell. I used it for a weekend touring trip as I didn't have a bike - which is why I had the service and new tyres put on. It puzzles me how peoples valuations can be so different but I guess that's how it is.

Thanks for the comments guys- it's interesting to get some feedback. I've priced it at £320 as when I had it serviced, the guy in the shop said I would be crazy to let it go for under 350 given the rarity and condition. Knowing how people get demolished on this forum for over pricing things, I thought I'd go slightly below.

Lets see what happens..

Anyone?!

An all original classic 1989 Peugeot 'Touraine' touring bike in mint condition. This is mechanically A1, as well as visually. It is in such good condition that the original pedal-powered light generator still works!

Only modern upgrades include new Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres which put on last month when the bike was given a full-service at East Central Cycles on Exmouth Markets (receipt as proof). I've also added a strap-on bottle cage. I have the original Michelin tyres (Made in France) which still have 90% thread if you want them for the complete original build.

I'm not at all technical so apologies if this is limited - but this is what I can determine:

• 23" Peugeot frame (Made in France)
  
• Maillard hubs/spokes - 700c (Made in France)
  
• Simplex Alpha gears and crank set (Made in France) - 2 x 5 so a total of - 10 gears
  
• Weinmann side pull break callipers
  
• CLB break levers
  
• Atax handlebar stem
  
• Saddle seems unbranded but says Made in Italy on underside
  
• Original chrome pannier rack, chrome mud guards and light generator as mentioned above.
  
  

No rust or pitting, although there are some very minor scratches on the frame which is certainly nothing major.

Very rare to find a Peugeot in this condition. No time wasters please. Priced to go - £320

Note, I am based in central London.

Limited Edition hand crafted in England, Kingston Kustom fixed gear (flip flop hub so you can choose between fixed or single speed). As far as I know, this is the only one that was actually made so it's as rare as you can find - it was built in 2011 as part of a limited edition promotional collaboration with the boutique London menswear brand Weekend Offender. If you Google for Kingston Kustom x Weekend Offender you will find some relevant links, press coverage as well as some campaign shots (this is the actual bike that was used in the shoots).

This is an exceptional bike that rides like new and always turns onlookers heads. There are some paint chips on the frame due to normal wear and tear (mainly from locking it on bars), although these are only cosmetic and do not affect the bike whatsoever. It is in great condition as it has only been used inconsistently for short (2-3miles) trips from Angel to Soho over the past 12 months.

It is a 52cm frame and suits anyone from 5'4 to 5'11 (I am 5'11 and is a suitable height).

Technical stuff (that i can see):
Kingston Kustom hand crafted frame 52cm.
On One custom drawn mungo handle bars
Quando Hubs
Wellgo MG1 Magnesium Platform Pedals
Leather weekend offender limited edition seat, brown grip tape and stem.
Tektro RX 4.1 front lever

Things I added (I converted it to a single speed from a fixie):
Shimano single speed freewheel hub
Cane Creek 200tt rear lever
Continental Gaterskin (made in Germany) rear tyre.
Chain for seat to frame.

If you had the opportunity to buy this new (but you can't as there are none around!), it would be £1200. Will let it go for less than half of this - at £545 ono, and include a custom skinned blue kryptonite mini D-lock, Knog rear light and electric blue ass-saver rear guard for free. You will not find this bike or anything like it around so get in quick as this will go fast.
