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. 

Prototype Sidecar cargo carrier H1

 

24 Jan

I have finished the bike and side cargo carrier (Sidecar) (Prototype) I am very impressed with the handling

corners right and left just like a normal bike, The only problem I have encountered is forgetting the sidecar is there because it is behind side vision, first off I ran over a couple of shrubs in the front paddock, then I took it for a road test and forgot it was there so needless to say I ended up with the sidecar wheel on the footpath. I think there is a need for a rear mirror so that you can see the sidecar. I would hate to run into the back of a parked car?

Coupla pics to brighten the day

Heres a nice Malvern Star road bike, this is very much like the first bike I ever owned, which was a Daws Debonair white and not a bad bike for the money, it was a fairly heavy bike too.

Peace

Things are very quiet after the Floods, I know we can expect these sort of things to happen, but the turmoil it creates is not good. So far 2011 as not started off real well, and we can only hope that things improve dramatically, I supose if we all keep our fingers crossed this could be the case.

But as Murphies Law seem to dictate the course of life for most people, what more can I say?
