Simon, Thankyou so much for taking the time on these two posts - I think I get it now, will save for reference. The one in ebay is lovely but I'm going to try and remain sensible and patient for now. I do need something practical as it's going to have to see me through three years of...

Just out of interest - how much of an issue is the french threading thing? I don't really understand which parts it effects :(

dubmaster - I think I'm gonna try hold for 531 or something similar and that isn't too much need of a respray etc, but thankyou very much for yr offer and will checkout the Brum forum on lfgss. Tel - for the frame only I can't really afford much more than £100 - please pm me if you've got...

thanks - still waiting for the size on that other one. I really like the decals and look of the peugeots (design student), i know it's a bit shallow and i could probs get something cheaper and just as good but i've got my heart set on it now. There's a lovely looking gold 531 frame on french...

So I'm guessing the one on ebay is number 25 "3 Tubes Reinforces" (from as much as I can make out on the photo). It does seem a bit pricier than some of the past stuff I've seen go on here, but I'm impatient, and really want to have something to get out and about on now that the weathers...

i'm on my phone and it won't repost properly. It,s use first link i posted in this thread.

hey, thanks, i guessed that one was, i meant this one one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VINTAGE-PEUGEOT- ROAD-RACING-BIKE-LONDON-W10- FIXIE-/190522453088? pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item2c5c05ec60#ht_1519wt_1141 :-)

Thanks Bowser, maybe not quite such a good idea then, the excitement of being able to go for a ride this evening was very tempting. Anyone know anything about the one in the ebay link I posted?

Just checked in the bike shop down my road (ridiculous I didn't even think of it until today) they have a peugeot with a few new bits and pieces on it he'll sell me for £100, think it was HSE Mangalloy(?) which felt pretty heavy, but could always replace the frame later on. Benefits are that I...

Thankyou - have messaged for the size - what are the main differences between 501 and 531? This one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VINTAGE-PEUGEOT-R ... 519wt_1141 appeals to me - although right at the top of my budget and I don't know enough to know whether it's a good buy or best avoided. I'm...

Okay, Apologies if this seems like a really generalist/daft question, I'm just trying to get a rough kinda idea - not sure whether to buy a whole bike as I've seen some frames on their own I really like. Say I bought a half decent frame (reynolds 531 or similar) and wanted to get it on the...

Hi, Thankyou - what frame material is that? Looking for something fairly light.

Hey, Thanks for getting back to me - yeah, a slightly older one would be fine. The one in the link you sent me would be excellent (although perhaps very slightly more than I *should* be spending), looks beautiful. I've messaged the guy but it looks like it's already sold. Have signed up on...

Hello, first post. I'm desperate for a nice bike for the summer, but I'm a complete newbie so please be nice! I love the look of the 80's Peugeots, but from what I understand they're a bit of a mixed bag? Idealy looking for something quite lightweight (read that carbolite wasn't?). Not...
