This is an unusual but very practical bike that can be used for everyday riding.
Started life as a 1963 (I think) Peugeot tourer.
The frame has been de-lugged and powder coated in a sort of magenta/maroon satin finish. The bars were powder coated to match.
Wheels were new builds 700c (622) size using new Rigida twin wall rims in silver. With brown leather hub cleaners.
Tyres are new too in a matching brown colour.
Bar grips are brown cork
Front brake is an original Mafac centre pull that works well.
Rear hub is where all the magic is ! It's a new S/A two speed kick back with a kick back brake too.
Saddle is a brown Brooks B66
Saddle bag is a matching brown leather one.
This was a build of passion as i wanted a bike with no cables and as that it worked well but in the end i capitulated and fitted front brake in keeping with it's age as it was just more practical to ride that way.
So what we have ended up with is a very pretty bike with a vintage feel but with modern day practicability.
This bike is certainly not for everyone but if you are looking for something different that is still a practical every day ride it maybe for you.
Price is £395 and i'm in BR6 and that does not include the pedals you see in the piccies but i do have others.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
