Peugeot 753r frames

[seve88]

I have one of these frames with Reynolds 753r tubing. II heard Peugeot didn't have a great reputation for welding with this but if I was to sell the frame and forks what might they be worth (presuming average condition)?

I'll try to get some pictures up soon.

Hi,

condition is everything! I have a couple of Peugeots of this era - 1988 753 and 531 Pro and they are OK. I believe the frames that ANC Halfords rode the Tour de France on were virtually standard (they had race number braze ons though).

So they may not be the best 753 frames ever made, but I think the quality is OK.

Value? I bought a beaten up but functional `Perthus' bike for the frame for £187.. Refinishing the frame to original spec is expensive though. To my mind a decent 753 Peugeot with a few scratches would be worth at least £250-£275..

Re:

That's a nice restoration. This is mine. The only reason I asked the question is because I only use mine on a turbo so could use any old frame if this was worth something to someone.
