Jovan Posted April 29, 2016 Author Posted April 29, 2016 That is a super sexy bike!What rims are those, I dig the detail on the brake line The rims are standard. Stainless steel with some pattern on the sides. The don't stop very well but the sure look pretty
Jovan Posted April 29, 2016 Author Posted April 29, 2016 Wow!!! Well done. Looks awesome.What was the total budget at the end?The original bike was R1800. The brooks saddle cost more than that. Spray job on the frame about R700, drive set and shifters about R1000 from mean machine, handle bars, levers and table from whippet about R1500. The real investment was time. The hand stitching on the leather was 5 hours alone and had to be repeated because of the *** job I did the first time. At my hourly rate it's worth more than a Dogma
DJR Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 ...........At my hourly rate it's worth more than a Dogma That's a calculation I never make
HeyYou Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 The original bike was R1800. The brooks saddle cost more than that.

At my hourly rate it's worth more than a Dogma A brilliant job, she looks fantastic. And that's the real reason why I seldom sell anything I restore. Because I've invested so much time and love into it!Even my humble Peugeot, like yours, is worth more than a Dogma.
Skylark Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Those decals seal the deal, they look awesome, all round siiiick bike!
nomoregravity Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Cool Peugeot! I've started my first Peugeot restore as a winter project (will do a thread on it :-) ), and would love to see a "before" pic if you have one?
