Back in '85, was going to have to pay a lot to bring my Trek 414 on the plane (cheapish flight), so planned to buy a bike in Paris. (Dollar strong at the time.) Bought a reasonably priced Peugeot...

It's 2022. Any (re)newed interest in a vintage ride in New Hampshire? (As long as 'vintage' can include 80s-early 90s!)

Swapping out rear wheel/freewheel and Biopace Questions

Just picked up a bike at a swap, but realized I'm going to "underpower" it for a while given my current conditioning and the local terrain. Looking to make the pedaling easier.

Not sure if this...

My trusty old Peugeot (vintage 1985) touring bike on way from Villars-sur-Ollon, Switz. to Barcelona, Spain (train from Valence to Nimes after a 200 km day). Prior day was Grand St. Bernard (light...

Thanks, I'll have a look on ebay for replacements. I thought I paid about $20 for the pedals, 'once upon a time', but the bike I want to put them on only cost me $200, so I didn't want to go crazy...

Replacement Toe Clips for Campy pedals?

I have some old Campy pedals (not sure of the model) that I haven't used because the toe clips broke. Everything seems to be aluminum.

Is there any place to get replacement toe clips like these?...

So I'm convinced. It's been many a moon since I built my own wheels, and it doesn't look like the savings would be significant even if I did. I do have extra 27" tires, so I think I'll stick with...

27" wheels for old but not fancy bikes?

I've seen loads of discussion on 27" tires, but less so on sources for 27" rims/wheels.
