Older Peugeots, which are the best?

Oh and what's the ratio front/rear?

haha thanks, you're right about the colours! it's a 52-20 which I havent actually tried out yet but it should generate basically the same ratio as my old 42-16

Cool, what hub you lacing up on the front? According to the late great Sheldon Brown you should only run forged hubs radial, or the spokes might decide they want out!

front and rear both 32 hole formulas, i dunno if they're forged :s

re-lace the back, but the front looks lovely snowflaked like that!

Hmm sod it, give it a go radial anyway I reckon, it'll look pretty. To be honest I think if you don't make the tension super high it'll be OK, but I might be wrong! At least you only have 32 holes. With radial more holes = bad because there's less metal between them so it's easier for spokes to rip off the edge of the flange. For similar reasons, large flange is better than small.

I really don't like snowflake much but that's just me.

the best thing Peugeot ever made were pepper-mills, really, their pepper-mills are really good, their bikes were shit, team Peugeot riders didn't ride actual Peugeot's they were made by proper frame builders branded as Peugeot...

BTW their pepper-mills are the best!

Chef'n FTW!

my parents had a peugeot coffee grinder from the 40s or 50sw. it had a picture of an elephant on. was pretty effing good
