Hello! I am new to this forum and looking forward to any advice I can get regarding this build.
I recently purchased this Peugeot on Craigslist for $150, but was refunded a $50 because of the cracked hub I discovered when I got home and took a closer look. I was very inspired by Isambard's Cycles Puegeot Canyon Express project, so I searched for one. I could only find this Urban Express in the US, so I settled given its decent price. I like the blue color as well.
There's a lot of original on this bike, but some obvious changes the previous owner made.
As you can see the rear hub is cracked, allowing to spokes to move freely. Huge bummer! Haven't had any luck with sourcing an original hub, but the idea of mismatched hubs makes me queasy. Any ideas?
Will update with more photos as the bike progresses. Photos here: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmQPyKh3
Thanks!
