My new project

[Big Wang Bandit]

^lol

A 62cm Peugeot PX10 Competition frame. This one is going fixed gear right off the bat, since I sold my Bianchi and regret it.

Its a 1979 - 1983 model, The serial number is rough, but I'll decipher it later today.

Yay!

Neato.
My friend is into biking and is building one up himself as well, after selling his Nishiki road bike er whatever.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Hes selling a Nishiki?

Crazy, those bikes are mad rare, really cool frames.

I can't wait to get everything I need for this sucker and start riding her everywhere. Ive wated a Blue Peugeot for the longest time an I'm so glad I finally found one!

I had no idea Peugeot made bikes.

 

[Mk3runner]

doing a engine swap on this one?

shit if its gonna be like this wait till I get my old bmx bike out, I got a build thread for that sum bitch

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

I put my friends whels on it yesterday and coasted around a bit, holy crap, its awesome.

I'm converting it to fixed gear, to be an epic commuter bike. On Monday, i'm gonna go purchase a cheap wheelset and just run the chain off my stock crank for now, untill I can afford a NICE crankset.

I'll post pics as I'm going to reassemble most of the bike durring downtime at work today!

Ditto. That frame looks super light.

$120 bucks.

Gonna go get wheels and everything tomorrow. So stoked.

The frame is decently light.

My Bianchi was SUPER light. I'm keeping this one a streetable bike, nothing crazy.

I wish my CF card reader was working :[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[

I just came back from the bike store where my friend works.

I ordered a rear wheel, I need to order the front when It comes in stock.
I got a lock ring
I got a chain
I got 2 tires(one to mount on my 700, and one mounted on the stock 27" french wheel[brown gum wall tire ftw!])

Tomorrow I search for a cheap 18-19 tooth cog, and I'm ready, Bike is going to be cleaned and everything tightened up until then. Sooooo goddamn excited!

 

[foreverpsycotic]

I think I have a white one of those sitting in my basement with a broken derailer. I will check tomorrow, and post up pics of what that bike should look like (complete).

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Please do since Mine is mostly in pieces

I've been using catalog pictures from here http://home.wanadoo.nl/peugeotshow/ To show a complete bike.

Also, I changed my mind, I'm running with the inner chainring(42 teeth) and going with a 14 tooth sproket for optimal gearing.

Also, give me that old Peugeot

 

[MK3.0dudeman]

Thats awsome!! I got a 1966 PX 10!!!!!Mines shit right now but I should start fixing it one of these days when I find time.I'll post some pics up

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Awesome! I would love to see that!

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Went to Oakland today to get a 14 tooth cog.

Now I just wait on the rear wheel.

I hate waiting :[
