Jovan Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 This is the results of my project over the last year or so. The donor bike was found on gumtree. Its a 1974 Peugeot U08. This is the overall bike. I chose these pursuit type bars (from Whippet). I did the leather bar covers and hand stitching myself What sold me on the original bike was the Peugeot head stem logo and the Mafak centre pull brakes.

Jovan Posted April 29, 2016 Author Posted April 29, 2016 I also got the red cable from Whippet. side view of the handle bar showing the cable

The pedals aren't period specific but they look like they kinda work on there. Well done.
Jovan Posted April 29, 2016 Author Posted April 29, 2016 The pedals were what I had around, I needed to be mobile for Eroica. I found the perfect set of 80's toe clips today at mean machine. They will be fitted shortly.
