love it, those winged out canti brakes look powerful, even secondhand ones are hard to find in my country and forget about even finding any bullmoose bars for sale, I'm more likely to to find an original bianchi celeste for sale than those bars

love it so far, if it were mine I would be rustifing it but I would leave that blue as the OG colour and sand sides and underneath add some off white spraypaint to imitate under coat, sand back to bare metal where needed let rust with what ever rust accelerating concoction people use and clear...

and the "perseverance through tough times" award goes to you my bro, its not easy to keep a positive balance when you and your wife are both crook and working on a house that's turning into a beautiful home and trying to stay grounded and connected with the world around you, keep jumping those...

I'm still enjoying this bike so much, I swapped the quell stem adaptor and threadless stem for a nice polished alloy ovalized quell stem, my friend and I swapped as he needed an adaptor, I came out on top with that deal me thinks, I'm in the process of colabing with the bro on another...

I shall avert my eyes until the hideous seat has been removed, my nose is pointed up and to the right in a nonchalant gaze less look, sorry I just don't understand why the various manufacturers of this copied and slightly altered style of bike to me always have oversized seats, it's a crime in...

So overhauled it slowly over last month, strip clean polish, replaced seat with a Charge seat replaced inner and outer cables replaced stem and bar with polished alloy bits, replaced some bolts with gold ano bolts, found some nice friction shifters sand polished and painted, painted bottle cage...

This is a great build and well worth RRB cred

Sometimes, and just my opinion, but sometimes your allowed to sacrifice comfort for style 😁

No issues at all, performed and sounded the same as normal, wether you should or shouldn't is just people's opinion, do what you feel like doing

Just found my old Flickr pic of my drillium bike

I've done it to an alloy chainring, I used angle grinder carefully with chain ring in vice and then used a file to fine tune/shape it up

Yer I was wondering that, I couldn't see properly, was thinking it might be like my Dutch bike where the stem bolt is also the clamp for the bar

love a good story behind a build and can see you are passionate about this, which makes this a story within a story, personally I don't get into tribute style builds but on the rare occasion my interest is peaked and this is one of them because I can see its personal to you about a sport and a...

hummm I will take a can of the brown please, red for me just isn't hitting the spot for this bike, but I would paint the crank arms to match the wheels and would get brown or cream grips and seat WITH a layback seatpost flip the bars upsidedown for the cafe racer look, a bold move that only some...

I had a nice blueish/purpleish commuter one a long time ago, cant remember if it was 27" or 26" wheeled, tyres would have been around 35mm, it had full mudguards canti brakes shimano thumb shifters 26mm seat post which is very hard to find here, I know I have a picture somewhere of it on one of...

In my mind Peugeot have always been passed over or never given a second glance which is a sad thing, I know they made mostly basic bikes but with good parts and they made a few really good quality models, odd size seatposts diameter aside I would never pass on one as long as the price is right

and will you be restoring this fine ride? dimpled fork and all

I think I have around 4 red frames of various models and agree the paint is very tough even with just a clean off with CRC or WD40 brings up the paint well

28 for english roadster and ingola's right for english sport bikes, I thing the 28s were on older bikes than your step through

could be the 28 x 1 1/2 measured I believe from the outer edge of the tyre, you know how it can be a rabbit hole sometimes with us/euro/english sizes
