Moving house soon so having a clear out. Unfortunately this means my Peugeot 653 frame must go :( Comes with Shimano 600 headset and bottom bracket. Seat tube 63.5cm, top tube 59cm. OLN is 126 mm. Extremely lightweight for a large frame. In good condition, paintwork been touched up in...

Re: Looking good :) Pretty sure this is my old frame, sold to Law a couple of years back. Glad to see its still going strong. :)

Re: Most Peugeot 753 and 653 frames seem to be 26.4mm (Ive had 3), although I had one in 753 that was closer to 26.6. I was always astounded at how light my first Peugeot 753 frame was for a 25". Nice purchase for the new owner :)

Cheers, much appreciated. Looks like the one on ebay sold for 145. which seems a bit steep for a front mech! Sounds like this group is hard to come by? Found this one fitted to an old 10 speed Peugeot mixte for some reason!

Not too sure what this is, looks like a Record Off Road front mech: http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx? ... 0&Enum=113 Its in very good condition, looks almost NOS except for very small nick on the front cage. Very nice piece of kit actually.

A lot will depend on what state i wish to arrive at my destination! If we're talking commuting then i rarely exceed an average of 14-15.

I can confirm what others here are reporting. Flooding with WD40 or similar has sorted out a couple of early 8 speed type STIs for me. However, should this not work stripping them down is indeed 'tricky' Its much like dismantling a camera - extremely difficult and likely to end badly...

Yep thats the beastie! The black tube goes through the headtube and the other part connects via the U shaped bit to the bottom bracket. The handle can then be twisted like a jack to push the headtube back into place. In my case the headtube is only out very slightly its hardly even...

A rather rare piece of kit this apparently, but does anyone know of any bike shops that have them in their armoury? (preferably not too far from Cambridge!) Long shot I know, but thought Id ask!

They did do a 12T. I sold a 7 speed uniglide wheelset that was 12-21 ratio, not very common though

Definitely both. Although i did notice a lot more people 'racing' on my commute into work yesterday! :)

Damn, missed it. Dont often see bikes in my size that are near(ish) me!

Now SOLD. Many thanks

think ive got one, ill check EDIT - yep ive got one if you want it. let me know

Ive got a full wheelset here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=209137 may also have a set of 32h 600 hubs Uniglide/Hyperglide 7 speed (if i can find them!)
