I bought an '84 Peugeot mixtre P-18 (?) (via component numbers & stamps) in good (read: unused) condition 5 years ago. the kid wanted $45, and I wanted it badder so I gave him $60.
I took it apart to nothing. tossed everything but the frame, fork, derailleurs, cranks, chainrings, pedals, wheels & hubs. bought a ton of "French" tools, VO parts, tiny bits, honjo, nitto, brooks, panaracer, soma, and the correct size, no shim, seatpost for $93!!!.
it was a "tuition project" from the start. in between rough assembly & today, I bought a full sized van and paneled the inside.
so painted & assembled, ridden twice to get things adjusted, I've got about $850 including paint and velocals on order.
I simply have no interest in keeping it. it's in my rear view mirror and i'm on to other projects.
Q: what to do?
