There is probably something missing or loose in the shifter levers . That will make them return when changing .
Maybe pop them off and show us an exploded view of the parts you have ,
Better still locate and use some simplex retrofriction levers .
Work great and appropriate for a Peugeot .
How nasty is that scrape on the downtube by the levers ? Just paint or dent? ( please say no dent)
Go gentle as possible on the stuck stem . Brute force is not your friend ! Especially on 753 tube.
HAve fun with it !
Look forward to updates .
Thanks man and I will. This is probably going be what I dump most of my money into try to fix and update. I will look into the simplex retrofriction levers and post some pics of the shifters dissembled. The scrape is just cosmetic. Just some paint scraped off. no dent.
. I'll try to be gentle on the stem. Never fixed a frozen stem before but the local co-op has repair stations you can rent out for $5 an hour with like every park tool tool there is. I'm just going watch a ton of vids on it and most of the staff at the co-op are very helpful so hopefully it won't be a problem.
