    Ebay Australia ANC team bike possibly Malcolm Elliott`s ?

    The ANC 87 tour bikes were Peugeot , no questions. Just ask Adrian Timmis. Peugeot supplied ANC with 753 , Vitus 979 and Peugeots own PY10-FC Carbon frames which were used by Kvetoslov Palov and Steve Swart , the other team members preferred to stick to steel . 531 pro frames were used as...

    Old Peugeot in Cash Converters

    Nice cheapy city bike for someone , what would £89 get you in a bike shop these days and how much of the plastic rubbish sold today will last 40 years like this has ?

    Peugeot 753 Pro

    Looks like lots of thick paint under the bottom bracket shell and possibly some filler? I wouldn't be surprised If you took it back to bare metal with a dremel you'll find the number. Those vertical dropouts were from about 1989 onwards

    Peugeot 753 Pro

    The frame number will be on the bottom. Bracket. I'm guessing it's a respray? , the vertical dropouts make it sound iffy for a 753 , I'm certain the 753 had the simplex horizontal dropouts but you need to upload a photo for a proper considered opinion, it's so easy to stick a 753 badge. What...

    Picked up this beautiful Peugeot 753 Pro yesterday 52cm

    I think these are very tired and well used examples, all I can say is the gent who bought my PY10-FC was delighted with the bike and to pay asking price, the bike was basically brand new condition and he also later contacted me to say it won an award at the recent Tom Simpson memorial, so I...

    Picked up this beautiful Peugeot 753 Pro yesterday 52cm

    Very few Peugeot PY10-FC Fibre de Carbon were actually sold in the UK. They were around £1200 in the early 80's at a time when a special order ( but not SBDU ) Raleigh team replica was retailing at £400. I have somewhere a Peugeot special pull out supplement from 'Cycling' with an interview...

    Picked up this beautiful Peugeot 753 Pro yesterday 52cm

    I totally concur with Bikeworkshop, the threat from the far East killed the quality after the 80's although I cant speak of or have any interest in the modern stuff. The likes of Peugeot and Raleigh couldn't compete with the cheap labour costs and so the cost cutting, downgrading and sponsorship...

    Peugeot absolutely were famed for lightweight frames and were innovators if anything , one of the first companies to produce a carbon fibre frame , I refer to the early 80's Fibre de Carbon ( based on the Vitus 979 but Peugeot made their own frame tubes stiffer and slightly larger than the...

    Ali Express for tyres ?

    About to purchase a pair of Challenge Strada Pro clincher tyres , which I've used on a couple of builds and found to be great tyres. Prices on these have rocketed ( previously bought from winstanleys )and now seem to be about £58 each but available on Ali Express for under £24 . Anyone bought...

    Diamondback Ascent & Apex differences

    I had an Ascent EX around 1991 which I fondly remember, if only for the story of how it was stolen by a 'buyer' from Loot ! . I was considering the Apex and Axis at the time but the Ascent EX actually looked better then the others, it was black with pink paint splatter which sounds horrible...
