Overlord Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Before I stripped and cleaned the paint off the frame.
Overlord Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 What is it Onetime? Somebody painted the frame blue. When i started stripping the paint I saw it was a Pearl White Peugeot.
dollar Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I have an old Le Turbo frame hanging in the garage. Want to restore it one day but not sure if it's really worth it.....

dollar Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Come to think of it, I probably have most of the parts that I need. Was Le Turbo any good to start with? Just from looking at it, it seems OK. Pretty light too. Those wheels you have look pretty cool. Also - a question - my fixie that I ride on the road (a green waterpipe Pug) runs 15/42. What is sort of "normal" on a track bike?

dollar Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 MTB bars? I am having a hard time getting old Cinelli bars and stems for my rebuilds. You got me thinking that my pug has the a pristine set of drops that I could use if I fit a set of straight bars......

Always worth the trouble dollar. if you are going to ride it, its worth it. if you ride it fast enough, no-one will notice...until you stop.
HeartCoppi Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Nobody is holding the wheel tarboy. so hows that beauty balanced? guess a stick up against the rear dropout behind the disc?
HeartCoppi Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 so... this is the before! what do you have in mind?
