Loose cog Posted July 3, 2017 Share That rear valve stem looks dodgy. Do you know what year model the frame is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slewk Posted July 5, 2017 Share Hey guys New to bike restoring so hope its okay i post a few questions At the moment i have a 1960 Alpina and a late 80's peugeot that I'm working on I need brake hoods for both, Alpina has Shimano, Peugeot has Suntour groupset Pics attached While I'm here I'm also looking for white and/or yellow brake housing? If i can source this items in SA that would be great Lekker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose cog Posted July 6, 2017 Share Try Woodstock cycles, they may have some Shimano hoods. Alternative is to import hoods. BTW the Alpina looks a mid 80's model and not 60's. Post some more pics for a clearer view. slewk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loose cog Posted July 6, 2017 Share Ok cool thanks! will try woodstock cycles I bought the Alpina last week and the guy said it was his grandfathers and claimed it to be from around that era LOK, the Alpina looks older. I was basing my comments on the brake levers which would appear to be an "upgrade" to the bike in the mid to late 80's. I would recommend you search the net to establish and date the older parts of the gruppo to get a more accurate date of the frame.  Here is a useful resource: http://velobase.com/ViewBrand.aspx?BrandID=b0cbe80a-c06e-4864-a3ab-dac2d4abd9e6&From=T slewk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
