Hey guys!
Stopped by a random thrift store in Santa Ana, Ca, and I found a almost mint dark burgendy (Sp?) peugeot road bike. I first said to myself "damn this is a cool looking frame, only seen them in silver, but probably to heavy for my tastes..." im such a damn dork.
well I bought it anyways, took of all the reflectors, and it weighed about 22-23 pounds which isnt bad. My goal is to bring to the 20 pound area, with egg beaters, new saddle, tires, tubes, chain, skewers. You guys think this is possible? I still want the bike to have the old flair its supposed to have, otherwise it would just turn into a SS, which is cool too....
some tid bits
-chromoly 501 frame
-weimann brakes
-Sachs hurst derauiler (can someone tell me about these, history? thanks)
anyways I never find cool bikes at thrift stores, while these are pretty common, it was nice to find one in great condition, and here is a pic of a similar one..
