My son picked this up for me at a garage sale by my moms house.
It's a 1972 Peugeot 10 speed, beautiful bike.
So far I replaced the rear tire and tube and made a few adjustments, took it out tonight and MAN does this thing fly. It reminds me of my '66 Raleigh racing bike.
It still needs a derailleur and a front tire but it's functional, did I mention that he got it for $10.00
I've been looking for a old school bike like this but can't find one...
Then you're not looking hard enough or in the right places . There's a bike shop in Litchfield (on 22 out by Dairy Queen) that has a ton of old Schwinns. I'd assume there are similar shops around the cities. Bicycle repair might be a better yellow pages term vs bicycle dealer as dealer is generally new stuff.
We have 2 Schwinn Collegiates and 1 Varsity. I had an Orange Crate back in the day but I'm not sure where that is any more, really want it back (buddy traded his for a truck and cash, lol).

Schwinns are fine but it's hard to beat a classic European road bike.

I'll trade you the bike for Chromie
Seriously though, I really like the bike and even if I did want to sell it I couldn't because it'd crush Jake.
Went out again last night and even with the one shot gear on the rear derailleur it rides like a dream, I think I might have to grease up some of the bearings after all though.
I didnt get a dang thing for fathers day! OK they called but come on.. there too old to buy things... (Youngest is 24,oldest is 30... and Pappy wishes he was one!! )
