How do I identify my Peugeot bike? Cycles Peugeot, founded in , is a manufacturer of bicycles based in Sochaux, France and currently a part of Cycleurope, a subsidiary of Sweden-based firm Grimaldi Industri. Cycles Peugeot. The wheel size is the measurement of the diameter of the wheel with a mounted tire.
Usually the size is written on the tire sidewall, for example it might read 26 x 2. Bicycles for Humanity, in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada has sold several even lots of Free Spirit bicycles, even though they are department store entry level offerings.
Mike Fraysse was the man behind the brand, and he had builder Pepe Limongi in his shop. I think Pepe put his own name on the custom frames and Paris Sport on the ones he made for Fraysse. Detto Pietros were called "Dirty Petes. My first pair of Sidis the one with the titanium shank felt wonderful. My first ride in them was over Smuggler's Notch in a downpour that delayed the race for about an hour.
Clement tires were the best. The guys who could afford them trained on 50s and 75s. Most of us trained on whatever was on sale, but on race day we went for Criteriums and Criterium Setas.
Later I tried Paris-Roubaix Setas for trainingmm wide with a closed-cell foam strip between the tread and casing--smooth. And all we had for cement was Tubasti. I never rolled one, but I sure wouldn't try that coming down a Colorado canyon at 50 mph. The bikes are better now, but we had more fun back then. Sorry about my format--my browser is eating my paragraph breaks today.
They did more touring than racing I can't remember 'how' my Detto's felt. I do remember what a pain in the ass it was to locate and nail on the short T. I used the horn of a blacksmith style anvil and a carpet tack hammer. And the black dye never stopped leaching out to ruin white socks and turn your feet a purplish-black. Clement 50's I may still have a couple of I raced on Roubaix setas and the early Clement Criterium setas. The brave and foolish used Pista setas! At somewhere just south of PSI.
I bought a batch of the first Panaracers on the market. One rock ONE rock! That tire bundle might have yielded miles total. Basically, all the cheap cotton trainers lasted either 25 miles or they went for miles.
We had several tire glues, but Tubasti was the default. The Wolber Wobbler glue didn't even 'stick'. I never rolled a tire either, but I do still have some anger issues from the race techie that peeled one of my well-glued tires during inspection. They used a local 'gorilla' with arms the size of my thighs. He wore gloves and had a bunch of us cussing out the race director and mayor of the town before we ran back to the parking lot and everyone was borrowing and passing around a quart can of GM Fas-Tac body trim adhesive and a 1" wide paint brush.
We just smeared it on and re-set the tires Lots of brakes were locking up during that crit due to rim walls being fouled with Fas-Tac! Remember these?

Thread starter johnnyb47 Start date 27 Mar peugeot. Location Wales. Tonight I've been on a googling frenzy trying to establish the exact year of my old Peugeot Equipe. I had a fair idea already of it age because i had one many years back when i was a youngster but curiosity has got the better of me tonight and after googling the stamped serial numbers on the bottom bracket all was revealed.
The frame is a low end carbolite jobbie which is backed up by a small sticker on the BB stating " P10L" and the frame size "62" Stamped on the BB there is also a letter "Y" followed by a 7digit number.
Apparently the 8 digits signify its from the 80,s. The number after the letter Y states which year of the 80's it is. If it has a 7 digit serial number it's from the 70s. I've also noticed that a fair few Peugeot equipes where fitted with sloping fork crowns. Mine has the more retro squared off crowns.
Peugeot must of changed them over its production run to keep it looking fresh in the competitive market place of the 80,s. Most of you informed members most probably know all this anyway, but if not i hope it may well shed some light on your bikes age.
