I got this bike for free from a friend.
So since I built this bike I have successfully bent both of my rims and the steer tube of the fork. Two different incedents.
Well after much time carefully reshaping metal it rides again! And despite common opinion pretty damn striat too.
The side wall of the rims were bent badly however it will take a lot more than a construction pit to take out the roundness of a Deep-V. I have continued to ride many miles this summer on those wheels with no problem, until tomarrow of coarse.
I'll tell ya I shure did love this bike while it lasted.

Metal fatiuge. It is toast. It now resides as a stool. A friend of mine got himself a new frame and asked if I wanted his old one sure enough it was a u-08 just like mine but one size bigger. I bought a stronglight crankset from an oldtimer at my shop for and moved all of my other parts over to the new frame. I will have to get some new photos when I get a camera. Howeverr it really looks exactly the same but with a way cooler crankset.

Q?

Where did you pick up that stem?
I just picked up a Peugeot frame and it was without a stem so im on the look out for one.

Stem

It was on the bike when I got it. I got lucky and got a model that had a Pivo stem, most came with AVA stems which suck and are known to have catastrophic failure. Like this one http://velospace.org/node/1994 Notice the front pinch bolt, isn't that ugly!

Remember you have a F%@*n' French bike! A standard stem is 22.2mm and the French made theirs to be 22.0mm. The clamp diameter is smaller too. I simply spread mine out to fit a 26.0 bar, but that puts your stem at risk of breaking. Most likely when you are over the bars sprinting, ouch could you imagine. If you find an old alloy stem that is standard 22.2, you can wrap it in sandpaper and take off the extra 0.2mm. After a while of coarse. That will get you away from French clamp diameter aswell. Good luck on your search!

dare i say it..

front brake to help prevent the dents and injury - nice bike though is it a px 10?

Acually, I am making a temp

Acually, I am making a temp time-trial bike out of it so it has now got brakes for racing regulations. It's the cheapest model Peugeot there was.
