I always get tempted to buy such thing to make my bike period-correct, but I probably won't ever build it up geared anyway..
Real nice trackbars/stems - some rare, some NOS; Astros, Cinelli, 3ttt, Titan:

No idea on prices though, but probably won't go cheap.
I don't mind mediating a bit, so ask me if you need any help.
(Don't know the guy..)I just had to stay up all night to get my hands on some TA Specialité cranks, 48t ring, bolts and dustcaps, which the seller was auctioning separately..
Got them at a nice price though. -

35mm rake carbon 1", but with $405,- too pricey for me. -

-Planet X carbon track fork +/- 22cm steerer
-Planet X Nanolight carbon stem 110mm
-FSA headset (Orbit ...)
-Bung + spacerWeighs 632gr

Hmm, yeah, if it was my bike, I would have probably gone that way, but a friend of mine wants to give it to his girlfriend for her birthday.
I was talking to her and when she saw this on page 3, she was sold.She wants to start using it as a proper bike, not only for the sunny days.
That's why I want to powdercoat it, so no rust is left or gets an easy chance.
I already found a website where they sell the right decals too.So my plan is to have the old frame and fit it with some more up to date parts and keep it as clean as possible.
It won't be to everybody's liking, but whatever.I just came across this and that's close to how I picture it.

I do agree on the DeepV's, so I might go with some Panaracer Pasela on low-profile rims (MA40's).
But I/she want the bike to have soldid color rims, hence the (SA) drumhubs, which I think might be more useful to her too.I'm not fond of dynamo's, they always tend to f*ck up with those wires etc, so I'll probably rebuild current lights with LED's or something (like on that 650b Peug).

I will most likey be building a porteur style bike based on this Peugeot soon(ish) for a friend.

Plans:
Honey Brooks B17 + tape, Gamoh King Junior bike rack upfront, DiaCompe inverse levers, other fenders sprayed black, moustache bar or something alike and maybe powdercoat with new decals. Polish the cranks and maybe replace the lights for something more modern.Now, as I want to go with some black deep v unmachined rims, I was thinking about SA drumbrake hubs.
If possible 2 or 3 speed, but without any cables to keep the look as clean as possible.
Are these available or does this only come as the 2 speed kickback/coasterhub? s3x?Besides, what are probably the biggest tires to fit under those fenders?
I was looking at the creme Schwalbe Deltacruiser at either 28c or 35c.
Other recommendations? Maybe something with a gumwall to match the Brooks.Thanks

It will make a difference, but it isn't clear whether Corima have already allowed for this in their stated ERD. Probably not, judging by the small difference between internal diameter and ERD. You also need specific concealed nipples, don't try to build it with conventional ones upside down as the slot head on a conventional nipple will auger through the carbon and wreck your rims. Corima sell a pack of 5 CX-Ray spokes with nipples for Eur.9.50 in a 268mm length, or 5 CX spokes with nipples for Eur.6.90 in a 271mm length. One of these is likely to be the best fit for your build.
I forgot to thank you after reading this earlier, mdcc, so: thanks for the help!
I've just send Corima an email to see what they have to say. -
Well, at first I thought it didnt really affect me that much, but the more I thought about how hard he has worked for all his stuff, the more angry I got. I then got myself hammered in the spirit of christmas..
Police came by quick. Apparently there was another burglary close-by, so they were alert.
There was a good footprint at the backdoor, so we've been tracktracing in the snow like Hiawatha and actually think we got close at one point, but it didn't happen..
Some CI team will come by today to look for fingerprints etc.
Cunts.. -
Grmbl, apparently someone didn't get any Christmas presents and decided to break into my dad's house this evening.
The entire house is a mess, but 'only' my little brothers laptop got stolen.
TV was standing outside underneath a blanket for him to pick up later, so I've been strolling around our neighborhood like a true vigilante with a baseball bat for a few hours, but without any luck.
I would've rather seen him take the TV, since my brother didn't had a back-up and has now lost all the cool shit he made the last 3 years. :@


Nope, a set like this:

Got it for about €80,- in total, so nice deal I suppose and should look v good on the Peugeot..
Yeah, I figured out Gixen while waiting, haha.
I tested it with the 3 auctions and it worked fine, although it only bids 6sec upfront max with the free account.
That way I lost an auction for a headset, which I didn't really need anyway..
