1972 Orange Peugeot 61cm Single Speed

Everything was rebuilt, and I went the cheap route. While the wheels aren't fancy, I did relace and rebuild them (the rear wheel I hand to bend the rim with my hands to get it true). I knocked all the braze-on's off the frame, then polished the frame as best I could to keep the original decals. Most parts were picked up at either Community Bikes in Santa Rosa or the Bike Church in Davis. I also had the joy of crashing this bike (I've since learned to keep the chain tight as you will notice a loose chain in the pictures). The bottom bracket is actually pretty solid, as I salvaged the original French cups and lock ring, but threw in a square taper spindle and the Sakae cranks (this took a long time to figure out, but worked great). The seat post was another tricky adventure. I ended up going with a 1 inch post, but had to use a 1 inch drill bit to knock the weld seam inside the seat tube smooth. I ride this bike with quite a bit of pride. :)
