Peugeot retro kids racer info

[bigdavevw]

Hi there guys, went up the town to post some bike parts (as you do )
and seen this little thing leaning up against the recycling bin. I left it at first, but felt bad for it, so went down with my brother and it was still there

Cant find much info on it, it is a kids Peugeot Leader with 20" wheels, 3 speed derailer gears. Gears and brakes are Sachs.

Would be a nice wee project for my nephew.

I,m guessing its from the late 80,s? Any info on this would be much appreciated.

Dave

Might not be that much help to you, but that bike brings back a load of memories for me: My mate Lee had one when I was a kid, we once had to hide it in a canal because some bigger lads wanted to nick it off us. Still went OK but smelt a bit funny afterwards.

If you know a kid who wants to get into club cycling, what could be a better introduction than that?

hey guys, cant find any info on this, bike, its not the c46 tho as it has 24" wheels, this has 20".

I know its not a really rare or quality bike, but would be nice to know a bit about it for the resto thread

Also anyone know where i can find minature cotterless cranks for it?
