I've recently received this freebie frame from CanAmSteve (cheers Steve!) and I'm intrigued as to what it is.
It's stickered up as a Peugeot with 531cs sticker on the frame and 501 stickers on the fork....yet in all the searching I've done so far I cannot find reference online to a black Peugeot road/touring frame in 531cs.
There is a 6 digit serial number on the underside of the bb shell which doesn't seem to fit Peugeot's numbering system.....and I'm struggling to find Peugeot's of that era with the lugs that this frame has.
The black paint doesn't seem great quality (yeah ok - it's properly knocked about) and it looks like there is white paint under the black.....would they use a white undercoat under black or has it been resprayed.
The other feature which seems quite unique is a boss on the downtube to accept a single point fixing shifter pod - apparently a mid 80's thing which didn't really catch on.
Can anyone offer any advice on what this frame may be based on the pics?
Anyone have any thoughts/comments/suggestions?
Cheers!
