UPDATED! Peugeot Premiere Carbolite 103

So many upgrades, it requires a new thread. Here is the bike, found in a skip, refurbished, and now upgraded. All original components have been polished endlessly with Brasso (calipers, levers, wheel, hubs etc).

Please see video below for more information

Great work (and refurbing old road bikes is hard work).

A very pretty classic bike. Wheels look great.

Very nice, great build. One thing I'd change though would be the brooks saddle. They look and feel horrible in my opinion, stick a flite or a turbo or something on instead!

Nice one...

Shame your opinion is wrong...

to the OP: great job, it is a beautiful bike... and now you'll have to convert the carbon bike into a winter ride... 8)

Hehe No carbon in our garage. My main bike is Reynolds 531 (see sig).

Dad's going to get a cheapish aluminium bike for general riding and keep this for extra special occasions

Thanks!

Opinions can't be wrong, that's the whole point of opinions
