Well I have finished the Peugeot PR10 off.
The bike was burgundy red but had it blasted, now has a bit of a 'Thavenet' theme, well nod to - going on, silver with a few gold accents.
The original forks were crude, I had a nicer set around that fitted which was lucky.
Had to change a few bits to get it where I wanted.
Velo orange french threaded sealed bottom bracket was a good spend.
Used most of a velo orange headset aswell, but had to use a different locking nut.
Cinelli 66-42 bars
Campag shifters replaced the simplex criterium which were mank.
I went for a 3ttt saddle, could not find a reasonably priced ideale 2001 but this fits the bill exactly. I have also reconditioned the original Ideale saddle and keep swapping it over can't make up my mind which looks better.
Stronglight 49D crank cleaned up well....
Rear deraillieur is a gipiemme badged Simplex super LJ...works lovely.
Lovely little bike. Turns in fast, enjoyable to ride....already came off though, slipping on wet leaves ha! ha! numpty.Funny how you get connected to these damn bikes
