My PEUGEOT Collection - One bike at a time

[Jam_SWorks]

The internal cable routing for the gear cables in pretty neat = running just below the bottom bracket axle (see photo). No space for a later cartridge system! thankfully my XT bottom bracket is immaculate and fine.

Hmmm no space to hang at this end of the bike workshop... time to populate the other end then

Sorry no, i tried zooming in too... I cant make out the brake arch design.

Its the arch to the brake that matters most. If the arch is flat steel bent round (and not cylindrical / tubular in shape) then its more likely a Peugeot frame.

The seat QR has a brazed on fitting which looks correct for the medium to higher end Peugeot frames, but the Braze on looks unusually high? They used to break, so were repaired by many people. This could be the case here?

Lastly the cable routing braze ons on the top tube are in the wrong place for a Peugeot frame.

Apologies not good news = So at this stage I'm not convinced it is a Peugeot frame.

But the paint job and decals look great

ok thanks for the information, maybe i will sell this bike as soon as possible and look for a new frame

Loving the collection! My first mountain bike was a Peugeot Ranger 10. Every now and again, I have a dig around the internet to see if I can find one the same, but to no avail.

Another Peugeot update in coming. Just after the summer (2022) I picked these two gems up. A 1989 Peugeot Dakar 21 Pro frameset and 1987 Peugeot Montana with full XT. Looking forward to restoring both in due course.

Today I cleaned up the Peugeot Dakar 21 Pro frameset. Tapped all the threads, removed grime, some stainless steel bottle bolts and assembled the forks/headset. Time to collect the period parts…
