Rozanne Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Hi. I am joining the thread. My current build... a Vitus 979 on a budget of R3500, which I have currently been able to stick to. I have also come across 2 beautiful Peugeot's. You guys have some amazing and sexy builds. Just a question though to the rusty Le Mans, is the front fork bent? My eyes might be deceiving me... Rozanne Loose cog and Eppie 2
Cables Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Hi Rozanne , the fork just looks like that ???? not bent just the design . I've managed to strip the completely not as half as the bottom pic . I've been phoning around for spray painting quotes . One place quotes me R1700.00 ???? Crazy me thinks ! Considering going the spray can route ???? cheapest quote R750 .

Rebilda Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I've asked Tyerone to make me up a set of decals for a GIOS TORINO. Does anyone have one that we can get the font size /lettering measurements from??? Searched the interwebs, but not found anything, other than decal sets.This guy's decals are 2nd to nonehttp://cyclomondo.net/page12.htmÂ

HeyYou Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Finally done! Thanks to all Hubbers who helped source parts! Very, very lovely, but tooooo big for you, send it thisaway!
HeyYou Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 This guy's decals are 2nd to nonehttp://cyclomondo.net/page12.htm  Thanks. Yeah, I know his decals, but with the Rand exchange rate they are quite expensive. After quite a lot of searching and guesswork, Tyreone did a great job, now to find the courage to put them on the frame!
Spandana Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Hi guys bought a container and 9 of these were inside, where could I possibly sell these? I have got all wheels trued and I am going to replace tubes and some tires? I am not even going to try replace the lights!

I have got all wheels trued and I am going to replace tubes and some tires? I am not even going to try replace the lights! My father in law has a similar bicycle.Was a commuter bike from Holland used by a bike hire firm in CapeTown.He bought his for R2000. I reckon that might be a good starting point.His is a single speed, fixed gear with no brakes. Also has the front and rear light with a tyre dynamo. Tire has a rippled edge that drives the dynamo.

HeyYou Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) I'll take the PUCH, if it's a reasonable price. How much??? Edited July 9, 2015 by HeyYou
