BuffsVintageBikes Posted July 15 Share Been a while since I posted here. My most recent video is up on YouTube showing the restoration of this banged up Peugeot PX-10 that was bought in NYC and shipped to SA for some love & attention by yours truly 😊 Check it out if these kinds of videos give you warm & fuzzy feelings 😉 leon_pro, Prince Albert Cycles, Ispeed_V and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbybzgo Posted July 15 Share Hey Guys, While the experts are focused on past restorations today I thought I'd post a pic of an old bike I picked up two years ago on an auction. It's a Carlton Kermesse (as stated on the frame) with a 5 sprocket rear cassette. The rear wheel appears that can be flipped around (I assume) to use with a single gear on the other side. With a bit of grease/oil on the running parts and one new tube the bike was rideable but haven't due to wanting to save the old tyres. My question is: what is this bike worth and although it is "rideable" is it worth keeping it as it is?

BuffsVintageBikes Posted July 15 Share Sadly not "worth" too much in terms of monetary value but certainly worth keeping and riding at vintage events as it appears to be all original. Not often you find them with the lights still intact, that's a nice bonus. Lovely old classic 🤙 robbybzgo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebra Posted July 15 Share I think as Buff says, likely not worth a lot, b-u-t, a now-rare bike, with cool saddle, lights, mudguards AND that flip-flop (or Dual Drive?) hub, have seen a good few ‘regular’ flip-flop hubs, but only with a SINGLE cog at each side, and not a CLUSTER on one side, and single cog on the other side! Maybe remove the tires, store them, fit fresh rubber and take a ride! Cool bike, perfect for Eroica 2025! robbybzgo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbz Posted July 25 Share Would this count? Brand new old school. We are now the official distributors for Officina Battaglin in South Africa. We have 3 gorgeous custom framesets coming in the next month so be on the lookout for our build threads.
