November 08 I'm selling my bike. Any offers?Classic 1990 Peugeot Gents Tourer The link goes to my ebay listing. This is one of the very last Peugeot bicycles made in France. The date of manufacture on the gear hub is May 1990. I purchased this bike brand new in 1990. It has spent most of it's life stored in a Dry Garage. The stickers identifying this bike put on in the factory are still very clear as are all of the transfers. I believe that this is quite a rare machine as I have seen few other Peugeot bikes with Sturmey Archer gears. I replaced the tyres, inner tubes and brake pads in September. Since then I have used it only on the weekends. I fitted a new chain and sprocket 2 weeks ago. The seat tube measures 22.5" or 57cm The top tube (crossbar) measures 22" or 56cm The wheels are the original Rigida chromium 650B made in france. The gears are Sturmey Archer AW 3 speed made in England. The current tyres are Technic 650B amberwall. The original tyres were Huthinson 650B amberwall and very similar in appearance. The brakes are caliper made by Weinmann The stem is made by ATAX and the handlebars are the north road type. There is a traditional bell on the handlebars. There is a D lock mounted to the top tube with 2 keys. This will be included in the auction. The saddle is made by Pryma. There is a factory fitted rear carrier and chromo-plastic mudguards. All of these parts are original and in good condition. There is a small amount of pitting to the chrome as can be expected with a 20 year old bike and a few minor scratches to the paintwork. There are no significant faults. There are no lights included as the dynamo system is no longer working and I have removed it. The handlebar grips will need to be replaced as I swapped back to the original bars from some others and had to cut the grips off. My home post code is engraved on the chainstay, however since then we have moved. I can provide a signed letter confirming this on request. I can confirm that the frame is straight and there is no excess play in any of the bearings. It has never been crashed or dropped. This bike is ready to go, however for your own safety I would recommend that you have it checked by an experienced person before riding. The photo was taken at Christchurch Quay about a month ago. I will add some more detailed photos to Ebay on Monday. Any questions please ask. Viewing welcome. Phone 07906 483267  |
