April also means tear downs and start fresh.
Got through the winter on this $150 all in clean rider (road drop conversion, new rubber, brakes, etc.). Now apart to get the salt and grime out.

This recent arrival is already stripped apart. (Love the color but the yellow tape, cables scheme scream of Green Bay Packers doesn't fare well in Chicago territory.)

Still learning
Forgot about this Peugeot. I started the build and life got in the way.

Thanks. Yep, smooth as silk with those 650b's. I'd ridden it for a couple of years without the fenders and racks, etc, and with a rear rim with a permanent hump in it. Picked up a new rim and all the OEM goodies last year, now it's 100% original, minus consumables.

Oddjob's Peugeot reminded me that I had one too. It doesn't get used as much as it should.

Oh yes, I remember that one. Nice to see it again! Rekindles memories of the meet-up in Gaiole as well. Thanks for that.
