Hello

Hello World!

I've recently achieved something of an ambition, by becoming the owner of a Peugeot Roadie. In this case, a 1974 (I think) R10, or U08 depending upon where it was bought.

It's a French build, with all of the puzzles and conundrums that this poses.

My plain is to strip it down, and restore it. The beast is largely original, I suspect for instance that the cranks have never been off it until now.

A lot of nice old steel framed bikes end their days underneath a hipster, this one won't. I'm aiming to go as original as possible, with just a few mods aimed at reliability and safety.

As and when I get the inclination, I'll update, swear, cry and lament.
