part 2 ---Stripping the second Peugeot

Eh? Is this thread a wind up? I don't see much here that'll need much more than grease and a bit of WD40.

How have you tried to remove the BB?
As for the bars, you could rough sand them and cover them in leather "almarc" style like I did
Rich :mrgreen:

'evening............
haven't tried the BB yet
the axle doesn't rotate ...next job

out on the Loire this afternoon - 36cm bars definitely feeling cramped
so I did up the 40cm Premiere ones to try
yours look very professional - i used a thick 'cork' tape - not fancy - but it provides cushioning for the Dupuytren's Contracture in my left hand
.
so BB fix tomorrow whilst waiting for the courier...............john

Hi again,
Sorry to hear of your hand problem, and yes the leather bar covering might be a bit thin for you then. Cork tape will be an excellent choice.

Lovely job on the bars if I may say so, nothing wrong with the orange tape either
I'd struggle badly to tape bars that well!

I tell you..... You thing your Peugeot has seen better days! Well look at the bike I obtained a couple of weeks ago, and pay special attention to the wheels!

Yours in Minty :shock:
I have now cut the cranks off as the cotter pins wouldn't move and drilling them did no better, so the angle grinder came out :mrgreen:
I thought the BB would be well seized in, but amazingly the thing undid by hand! AND the bearings are like new!
The paint is as hard a nails, so the circular wire brush attached to the grinder came in.
Anyway... Sorry to ramble and please follow my thread if you like. I will post an update on it withing a week or so when the paint is shifted from the frame completely!

Back to my original point, you have a lovely frame there my friend

Cheers

Richard

You've made it out to be a big drama that a 30 year old bike has some rusty bits on the chrome and a few scabs on the frame. What did you expect when you bought/found it?

and don't post again on my threads ... that drama enough for you

Re:

All restorations of vintage roadies are interesting, can't say I noticed any drama from the OP. Keep the updates coming, Yardbent!

thanks for the encouragement
BB wasn't seized - just solidified grease
I had to replaced 9 spokes in the 'vgc' wheels i bought on eBay
- seems he forgot to mention the chain had jumped into the spokes...... :facepalm:

anyway - finished and went for a small ride
perfect - well, nothing fell off
