Peugeot PX10

Yea no worries as soon as the frame & forks are finished I'll post some photos of it. What I will say is that when I bought it, it had been painted Red & 3 cable guides had been silver soldered on to the Top tube (DOH) which I had removed, then a couple of hours work removing the excess silver solder off the frame with very fine emery cloth. The chrome on the frame & forks was as if it had just left the factory (MINT Condition) as someone had sprayed a heavy coating of lacquer / varnish over them!

Sounds great. You are getting rather prolific with the px10s! Do they get regular outings? I'm looking forward to getting to grips with this one, I find it takes a while to get the 'feel' of a bike, that's when you start to really enjoy it.

New year and still not finished! I have decided to delay the full restoration and clean this up for use, to get a better feel for the bike first. Although it seems a shame not to go the whole hog this is my only road bike and I want to do some rides this year. It won't look anything special but I am so grateful for all of the wonderful advice above that will be completely invaluable when I have the time, money and space to treat this bike to the full restoration that it undoubtedly deserves.

Great idea - we need to get out for a road ride at some point soon then - since I've had my Peugeot the furthest I've ridden on it is the 5 1/2 mile commute to work!

Hi Mart, sounds good, get the Pugs out! I'm definately thinking a fair weather ride on this

Re:

Guys,

If you do decide to go for a retro road ride around Southend when the weather gets a bit better please let me know as I'd love to join you!

Np Pugs at present although I did have two Peugeots back in the late 70's, early 80s, both purchased brand new from Brownings near Chalkwell Park.

Until I manage to obtain another Peugeot I'll have to turn up on one of the following....




Regards,

Steve.

Hey Steve, of course - more the merrier - will drop you a PM in a mo.

Crackin' bikes by the way....going to make my Peugeot look very modern!

 

[SIMONFREESE]

Hi Steve, another Southender! Great news and great collection of bikes you have there. Sounds like Mart is on the case with meeting up, hope to see you on a ride soon

My 3rd PX 10 just back from the Sprayers
I already have 2 White ones with Black Nerves lugs so I thought I would do this one Blue & Yellow.
It was Red when I originally bought it & someone had silver soldered 3 cable guides on the top tube!! So I removed them.

 

[SIMONFREESE]

That looks fantastic! Can't wait to see it built back up, it was the colour scheme I wanted for my one, I will get it done one day....

In the interests of having this back on the road for the spring, could I ask recommendations for cable? What's best to use? I also would like to replace the brake levers as they are rather worn out, they have a lot of play in them. I suspect they will do for this year, I will be doing a full restore hopefully next winter...
