hey all,
does my beloved peugeot road bike count as retro?
reckon ive had it 15 years.
pink and black one - you guys will know it.
see if you can date it for me -
Spec as follows:
531c
Mavic open 4cd rims - built em meself as a 16 yr old!
105 shimano - 14sp i think (just put it up in the office earlier and cant be bothered to go look)
biopace front ring (think i might have replaced that)
ive got a nice black selle italia type seat.
I love it. Used to use it loads as a kid, cycling club outings, 15 miles after school / work over the years. Then we parted for about 3 years - just got it back 2 months ago. Been fettling. Stupid thing is i serviced it proper before it was stored - new cables, brakes tyrs the lot. so Its ok, just needs wearing in again.
Cant wait!
Now just got my self a clockwork orange! No idea what it is - (see my other post) thinking i might go for a bit of retro / road action. I'm thinking slicks and paint it black - bit stereotyped maybee? Any ideas?
Cheers
Paulos
