I’ve made a little progress on the Peugeot. The chrome is polished, the aluminum is shiny, and the paint is waxed.  What else?  The bearings are repacked and the frame is saved.  On top of that, brakes and barcons are installed and the bars are wrapped. Added components include Panaracer Pasela Tourguard 27×1 1/4″ tires, Cane Creek SCR-5C compact short-reach levers with gum hoods, Cane Creek Crosstop interrupter levers, and finally some Salsa cork tape.

While cleaning the existing components I found that the Simplex front derailleur was broken. This will delay the project a little, but Karl at Klunk Cycles is finding an appropriate replacement which should arrive shortly. More soon.
