Thanks - ordered a pretty cheap wheel just to keep me going.

Another basic question, as I am confusing myself :D I have a 1988 Peugeot racer. I bought a new freewheel for it, but in the process of attaching it I realised the back wheel is pretty screwed up - so i'd like to just replace the whole wheel. All the rear wheels I have looked at say they can...

Thanks for the advice. As suggested i bought a cheap 6 speed Shimano. As much as i'd love to buy expensive components for the bike, its meant as something fun and cheap for me to mess about with. Although I do keep an eye on ebay for a set of 105s :D Thanks all.

Thanks guys. I've seen a Sunrace 13-28 that I might go for. It's a 7 speed, but from what I've read this will fit on my 6 speed hub. I gave up on being authentic with the bike - it's started as a cheap bike, but I ended up spending quite a bit. It's at the point where if I spend too much...

I've got a 1988 Peugeot Racer It's a nice bike, but I've always found that it never has a low enough gear for long steep hills. Looking at a copy of the original brochure, this bike has a 14-24 freewheel and a 42,52 crankset. Which should I change to make things a little easier, the...

Yeah I think its meant to be a MTB/Hybrid one. I realized after ordering it. However I then did some reading and the consensus was that they are all pretty much the same, so I stuck with it. Replace chain and cables, or get a smaller derailleur? edit...

New Derailleur So the cheap new derailleur arrived, and now I have to agree with grilla - this looks cheap and nasty :D But the more obvious issue is that this derailleur is much longer than the last one, and is further away from the cable. I can see the following problems: 1. The...

I thought that may be the case! I guess the first priority was to get the bike in working order. When more funds are available I'll look into getting some more appropriate components!

It seems the resizing program I used put nice "X" marks across the pics. I'll upload some better, and some larger ones later on!

Long time lurker, thought I'd finally get around to posting some photos of my recent restoration of what I believe is a 1988 Peugeot HLE Premier. The frame simply says 'Premiere' but another badge says HLE, and I know it was bought in 1988 - so looking in the old Peugeot brochure I decided the...

Long time lurker.. so this is my required first post to allow me to then post some photos!
