Notes for the Peugeot bicycles: (Nouveau) Folding

21 2 11

I have tried a 24 x 1.75 wheel on the front and rear of the bike,

Serial No: P1 B7 515985

Serial No: P2 B7 903602

I had to let the air out of the rear tire to get it to slip into the rear drop outs, this is no big deal.

The tires are new road slick tires, and should be a better ride on the road, $25 for the two.

Don't know if I will be able to fit the fenders (mudguards) with the larger wheels?

The original wheels used a 550 A tire which is pretty close to 22 x 1.75

But it is peculiar to this French bicycle the (550A)

the other thing about the old wheels was the fact that they are very hard to source, use the French tire valve (Non Standard) here in Australia.

I also had too file out the front fork drop outs half a millimetre to accept the slightly larger axle shaft and spring out the forks about 8 mm, again this was quite easy to do.

The rear brake may need slight modification because of the slightly larger diameter wheel.

The front brake is a definite modification job has the slot for the brake pad is not long enough

I have two options here, one I can modify and lengthen the original brake slots,

Or two I can use a standard front brake (calliper type) brake and again modify it by lengthening the slot for the brake pad.

Front forks and frame have been painted with undercoat, and it looks like a nice bright green paint will do the job nicely, with matt black crank and pedals, front and rear rack, handle bar, and seat post. This should set the bicycle off quite well.

Paint used was enamel, having problems with crazing. I may have painted over the undercoat too soon.

Cleaned down crazing and used Wattyl Epoxy Enamel, changed colour to Sun Gold, needs 16

hours between coats

Crank and Racks painted with Epoxy Black also Chain Guard Handle bars and fittings.

Updated notes P1 and P2

This post is to check whether the attachment is workable.

Notes for the Peugeot bicycles:

16 2 11

I have tried a twenty four x one point seven five wheel on the front and rear of the bike,

I had to let the air out of the rear tire to get it to slip into the rear drop outs, this is no big deal.

The tires are new road slick tires, and should be a better ride on the road, $25 for the two.

Don't know if I will be able to fit the fenders (mudguards) with the larger wheels?

The original wheels used a 550 A tire which is pretty close to twenty two x one point seven five.

But it is peculiar to this French bicycle the (550A) the other thing about the old wheels was the fact that they are very hard to source, use the French tire valve (Non Standard) here in Australia.

I also had too file out the front fork drop outs half a millimetre to accept the slightly larger axle shaft and spring out the forks about eight mm, again this was quite easy to do.

The rear brake may need slight modification because of the slightly larger diameter wheel.

The front brake is a definite modification job has the slot for the brake pad is not long enough

Front forks and frame have been painted with undercoat, and it looks like a nice bright green paint will do the job nicely, with matt black crank and pedals, front and rear rack, handle bar,

and seat post. This should set the bicycle off quite well.

Dates on pictures

Please Ignore the dates on most of the photos, My camera seems to have a mind of its own and sets dates in the past Or future, Unless I set it before I use it each time its a case of pot luck what you get is what the camera likes?

Peugeot the Name

I just realised that I am using the peugot name Incorrectly, an it is actually Peugeot

I will try to remember, But if I do forget this is my apology for getting old timers.

Peugot Folding Bicycles x 2

I posted these but the pictures seem to have dissapeard.

The white one I have called P1 and the purple one P2

 

Peugot Folding Bicycles

This is the condition of P1

 

The Peugot folding bike, I got this one on eBay with a stack of bike frames and parts, Cost of this bicycle was $5

I have decided to change the wheel size has the original wheels are 550A that is very close to the old, twenty two inch x one and three eigths also has the European (French) tire valves. Anyway I will use twenty four x one point seven five wheels, and yesterday I picked up two new road tires for $25

Nearly all the twenty four inch wheels use knobbly tires, so the road tires will be much better.

At the present time the Frame has been stripped of paint. Ready for repainting or powder coating I will decide when I visit the powder coater with the frame for a price.

Two Peugot bikes

These two bikes need rebuilding,P1 has wheels, and P2 needs wheels, twenty two inch is the wheel size.

Green Long John

Heres my green machine, still needs the front brake cable and brake fitting. I have just done a test run around the paddock and it handles very well on the rough ground.

Needs to be road tested yet but I dont see any problems.
