Condition: Bike isn't perfect but in extremely good condition for an unsrestored version of this age. The groupset is in good nick, cranks have some use marks, brakes and derailleur are great. Frame has one or two scrapes on it. Chrome is good, some small spots on the forks. Wheels are true and the rear just had bearings redone.

I will not be including the tyres pictured in the sale. I will have a set of something else on it. Am trying to find some gum walls for the sale.

Price: 500 euro

Harrybelafonte · 08-12-2012 07:36AM

Any interest, before I try somewhere else?

That is a beut...! I have a real soft spot for "The Lion" ... ! I have one as well ... Well 5 TBH

I remember one of the lads buyig one in 1988 brand spankin new with a Full Mavic SSC group on GP4 Mavics .. It was over a grand and that was punts :eek:. When he rolled up at the line .. One word WOW...

AFAIK that bike itself was a special order as the 531pro Peugeot of that era came with Shimano 600 group out of the box. The frame was available separate but you could have went to your local Peugeot dealer and specifed what you wanted right down to the toe-straps. ATM I am looking for an order form that you ticked the boxes on in 1987.

Them pics make the hairs stand on my back... What a bike.. ! A Peugeot always looks like its going at 40mph even its parked !

I have two very good reasons why I cant buy it... Its too small as I am a 60cm and most importantly I already have a shed full of Pugs and a disgruntled better half :rolleyes:

A fantasic bike from when times were simpler, when men were proper hard men, and races were proper hard races. Survival of the fittest and the devil take the hindmost.

Nowadays bikes are totally non descript, mass produced and throwaway white goods.... ! Races are all soft affairs. 60kms max for A4 bah....!

I know I am ranting a bit but I hope she goes to somenoe who will appreciate what they have under them and gets her out there to be admired and envyed....

Sorry lads thats my favorite subject covered ..

Bottom line €500 is very cheap for what you are getting... !

OP - Love it...

What's the geometry on old frames like that compared to new bikes. I suppose what I'm asking is, is a "54" today the same as a "54" of yesteryear?

I ride a 56

I ride a 56

I ride a 57 and have been told 58 - 62 would suit me best, depending on the frame itself.

I'm unsure of the sizing on this. Could you let me know the top tube and seat tube measurements?

Thanks.

I'll doublecheck when I get home, but I think it's 54x54.

Harrybelafonte · 14-01-2013 05:13PM

Can confirm it's 54x54

Thanks for checking that Harrybelafonte.

I'll offer €375 subject to viewing to confirm if the sizing fits.

The price I listed it for tbh. It's a fair price for what the buyer gets.

sled driver · 15-01-2013 11:01AM

Ok, I'll meet you half way on this, which gets you to almost 90% of asking.

As far as I can tell, there have been no offers on this bike in the 2.5 months since you've advertised it. There have been some lovely comments, which I don't disagree with by the way, but lovely comments ain't going to buy the bike and I'm offering what I consider to be fair price.

So, final offer of €435.

Harrybelafonte · 15-01-2013 11:29AM

Thanks, but I'm going to move it on and take my chances with eBay.
