  I have one at home - actually I have a full gearset.

  Do you have a budget in mind?

  There's a very reasonably priced one on eBay right now (£25+P&P):

  Completed this 1978 Peugeot PSN10 in Reynolds 531 from racer to cruiser for a friend.

  Found wide alloy clinchers (17mm internal) to replace the tubs so they allow tyres to "balloon" less and I managed to squeeze 35mm tyres in the frameset. Lovely!

  After giving it a good clean, here are the new parts fitted:

  • Ergotec alloy bars
    
  • Silver Deore levers
    
  • Black grips
    
  • Weimann clear brake cables
    
  • Orange Fibrax pads
    
  • Vittoria Randonneur 35mm tyres & new rim tape
    
  • KMC 5 speed chain
    
    

  The new wheels took me aaaages to sort out. Serviced the wheel hubs, trued the wheels radially & laterally, fitted new rim tape.
  No wonder bike shops don't want to deal with old wheels, it wouldn't be commercially viable to charge time-spent.

  Used parts fitted include a Huret front derailleur, the original Simplex one had a one of those ABS plastic clamps which had unfortunately snapped.

  Maiden voyage tomorrow to see if it's working well!

  My old flatmate James is selling his Dolan Pre-Cursa on eBay at the moment.

  It is a 50cm one so fits what you need.

  It will definitely go cheap!
