Bought this bike real cheap this spring from someone who switched to a mountain bike. Changed the handle bars and tape, brake levers, tires and took it all apart and oiled and greased. Runs great. I have all the original parts. Having a hard time finding the right sized bearings for the headset. Used a little bigger for now... works... but not perfectly since it's a little tight. Tried loosening the headset, but just can't seem to get it just right. It works, but I'll have to change the bearings in sping. Does anybody know what the exact size of the bearings I need for these french bikes? I can't seem to find the originals.
I really like the ride of this bike, but I might sell it in the sping since it's a little big for me - for a road bike.
I'm working a cyclocross project and a mixted bike project so maybe I'll have to make space. I have to many bikes. The roads are really bad where I live so it's no point trying to do much real road biking. I prefer using my Peugeot Super Sport with the 27 1-1/4 tires and the long wheel base. I mostly do 50k-60k runs on cycle paths and commuting... this bike I only use once and a while so if I need to make space it'll be the first one to go... that being said I'm hoping I can keep it for at least another year or two.
