Yet another cheap bike for the giants out there...

And a cheap 650c bike - good for spares like wheelset and forks...

I had a Look 464 earlier on this year - what a brilliant bike.

I remember popping in Condor to pick up some stuff and overheard a staff member saying: 'Man, this is far too stiff for the road, I can believe people would ride that for their commute'

That dude obviously never rode one, I found it really good on both commuting and 50 miles ish rides (did Box Hill a few times), I even wacked aerobars on it and that was a seriously fast ride.

Go for it!

I can do that for you and ask about my bike at the same time.
PM me!

I got waterpump pliers from Poundland in Brixton, obviously not the best quality but did the job.

I have a small Peugeot PH10s bike for sale. It is a 50cm frame so suitable for someone between 5"2 and 5"6 ish. This was the smallest non mixte frame size available at the time.

This 1983 racer has just been serviced and is ready to ride away! The headset and bottom bracket are tight, the wheels are true and the gear shifting is accurate. The bike is in really good condition for a nearly 30 years old steed, it has been kept indoors so no rust. Very low miles on this one so the drivetrain is in really good condition.

The ‘Jacques Suire’ specification is pretty good compared to a run-of-the-mill PH10S. Jacques Suire was born in 1943 and amassed over 250 racing victories both on the road and on the track (http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/palmares/suire_jacques.php)

Grab a cup of tea, it’s starting now:

Frame: Metallic Blue Peugeot 103 Carbolite tubing internally brazed with braze-on cable guides and stops, bottle cage fittings (comes with a cage) and chain rest. Centre to centre, seat tube is 50cm, top tube is 52cm. Spacing is 100mm front, 126mm rear. The frame number is 1961524 PH10S 50 – Y201 00546.
Saddle & seatpost: San Marco Rolls ‘Due’ – Stamped 1999, this is a narrower version of the standard Rolls. 24mm fluted alloy seatpost stamped 1983
Handlebar & Stem: 42cm bars with 70mm ATAX alloy racing stem. Brand new black bar tape.
Brakes: CLB aluminium 48-65 callipers, good pads, UK cable routing, Suntour SL Aero levers with hoods in really good condition.
Crankset & BB: Square taper French bottom bracket (very tight with no play), Peugeot branded chainset (which is be a Solida 5170 alloy), 170mm arms, 14x1.25 pedal thread.
Pedals: Union Quill U44 W. Germany (French threaded), Christophe 1** chrome toe-clips and black Lapize plastic straps.
Derailleur: Simplex SX810 6 speed rear derailleur (branded Peugeot), Simplex double front derailleur, SJ downtube shifters.
Wheelset: Maillard hubs (stamped 1981), Maillard Helicomatic 6 speed freewheel 13-21, Spidel skewers, Mavic Module E700c Rims, 700x20 Michelin BIB TS20 clincher tyres – wheels are true, hubs are smooth, tyres have good thread.

Altogether, this is a great little bike, seriously fast too in the 52x13 gear. 50cm frames don’t come up often so grab it while you can - I am only after £SOLD for it.

The bike is at my office in Chancery Lane, come for a test ride and ride it home if you like it!

I’m sure I have forgotten something so please ask if you need more details. Photo galore below

Jacques Suire you say? Here is more infor about the man (he's still alive, you can contact him).

I also have a bike bearing his name.

I have some Deda drops 40cm 31.8mm - Big Pieda is the model I think.
Interested?

Yes please!
I have some DIY to do in the flat and was looking to buy a shitty Argos one.
Will PM now.

If a Peugeot expert happens to read this thread...

I've also got two Peugeot frames I'd like to put a date on, serial numbers are like this:
PH8SL BJ57 Y411 10500 (I know 57 is the frame size but that's it)

Second Frame is:
5183522 PH45M 50 (I know M is for Mixte and 50 is 50cm frame size)

Thanks

Vince

Very generous of you. Have some rep'

Hopefully these will come handy to someone and not be resold for profit...

Hi B,

What size are you after?

I have 2 complete frameset available - both come with frame/forks/headset/cottered bottom bracket/saddle/seatpost/stem/handlebars/brake levers. Basically everything on the pictures bar the wheelset
They were originally fitted with 650B wheels but they are pictured with 700C which fit perfectly fine and still have room for mudguards.
I have greased BB and headset, seatpost and stem move freely. The paintwork is rough so the bike would be more of a pub beater than a beauty queen... Surface rust on most parts, so these will be cheap...

52cm Champion du Monde step through, which alloy chain guard

50cm Peugeot PH45M Step through Tube Special 103:

How do the microSHIFT groups compare?

Microshift is lower quality, I would say Shimano Sora level so it wouldn't make it in the groupset hall of fame...

I'm getting close to upgrade time but there are no good deals on the Samsung Galaxy SIII at the moment so I thought I would try my luck here.

Ideally blue and 32GB but would still buy a 16GB.

Will pay up to £FOUND! - Let me know if you have one kicking around!

Thanks

Vince

I have a spare set of Profile Design CBX Pro bullhorns with aero clip ons just like that.

If memory serves me right, they are 42cm CC. Full carbon bar the aerobar clamps.

I can take pictures if you are interested!

Cheers

Vince

I was going to put them on eBay and would probably get around fuck all for them so... In true LFGSS spirit, how about giving you the cable hook unit free of charge?
Pick up from Chancery Lane.

I do...

Sports Direct, loads around the £20 mark
http://www.sportsdirect.com/cycling/cycling-shoes?dsearch=cat

I have one going spare, you can have it for free, it is the one with the little notch so you migh need to file that off.

(the furthest one to the right on the illustrative picture below)

That's lovely! Not keen on the saddle myself, I know it matches but it looks a bit cheap to me*

*disclaimer: I have no idea what saddle it is and could be brilliant

Thanks mate! The ride from work was pretty good, gears work well, bike feels tight.

The saddle is a Fizik Pave CP Gel with titanium rails - it is a decent saddle which comes with a few scuff guards so I could always turn it back to full black as the yellowness is a tad extreme (frame/cables/tape/saddle)

^dude you should have said you needed the thread cut further, I could have done that for you before I sent them...

Do you have the tools to thread 1" forks? I had to get an extra 2" of threading (not cutting).

Looks so much better now, how come you didn't get the steerer cut at the same time? Needs to slam that stem imo

I could cut 2" at the top of the forks and remove the spacers but I want to see how it rides first.

think you have to pay via paypal but PPCYCLE1075

Expired :-(

I have finally finished the Ken James lo-pro. A lot of work put in this one and a lot of hassle too...

I bought the frameset off eBay with 700c forks when the frame is supposed to come with 650c forks. Found forks and front wheel here. I had to get the 1" chrome forks thread lenthened - and there is only 1 bike shop doing it in London (Fitzrovia Cycles on New Cavendish Street, charged £15 for 2 inches). Finding 1" carbon spacers was fun too.

Anyway, CSB and all that. The maiden ride will happen tonight after work!

Here are some pictures:

First built with wrong forks:

Now with 650c forks, ready to ride:

Not a voucher, but if you have a Quidco account, you can potentially get 3% cashback on sales at CRC. Not great, but better than nowt!

I do have Quidco, I'd rather get £10 off £75 though ;-)

I have found a Condor carbon seatpost in my parts box - 27.2mm, usual insertion scratches, around 300mm.
I'm after £10 if anyone is interested.
Cheers
