Hi from the UK
Was trawling for items on the Peugeot AE8, saw something and offered some info. Due to geographical issues (The North Atlantic!) I doubt I'll be posting too much!

I dug my AE8 out of the garage today, pumped the tyres up and took it for a quick spin up the road
Still an absolute joy to ride, although it will be forty years old next year. I think I need to fit new tyres and brake blocks (I think the ones fitted date from the 1970s... - Anyone know where I can get Mafac "Racer" blocks?)
Also got my wife's Peugeot Ladies' bike out, not that she has ever ridden it any distance - tyres are a bit too narrow for her liking!
Must use them more!

I cancelled my domain that I used for forums (and therefore my e-mail) so I lost my e-mail address and then realised I lost my password.
So I'm back! (With a different name)
In the iterim, my local coatings guy (who also does bike frames) did a Mixte frame and there are a couple of companies here that do complete transfer kits for £15. What's not to like?
