Classic bike for Fathers day

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 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Then you're not looking hard enough or in the right places :lol: . 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 :lol: :lol:


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.

Jake had a good eye. Everything is Mountain Bike today....cool, but nothing beats the good old 10 speed foreign bikes. Sweet ride.
