Hi
Just bought a Peugeot road bike off eBay for £50. Going to collect tomorrow.
I don't know anything about the bike, but i think its a Peugeot 501 as i have been looking at what looked to be the same model on Gumtree.
Can anyone give me some info like year it was made and if the bike is good or not?
One thing i am worried about is that the listing on Gumtree, the seller said the handlebars and seatpost were "stuck" in the frame. The aluminium seat post had oxidised in the frame and had stuck.
Now i am wondering if it might be the same case with the one i have purchased off eBay. Is it a common thing?
This will be my first racer to do the Manchester to Blackpool event in July. And i don't want to be spending too much on the bike, so any tips about racers or this specific bike would help a lot.
Thanks
