Well done! It turned out amazing as I would expect from the level of work you were doing! Love to hear your perspective of a longer ride. I haven’t ridden tubulars some 1975 when I laced a set of Mavic Red Labels to my Peugeot AO-8’s original hubs.

Please explain “too big for me”. You’ve had that bike for soooo long and have done such a nice job on the restore. The PA-10 is a nice rider (if a bit heavy) and you should put some effort into fitting it to you. But by all means, do get an additional bike😁

As you see, the seatpost is almost completly down and at that point is verry hard to ride , i mean i should lower it like 3-4 cm to have a nice position. Is a 56 frame , and i need a 52-53 at max .
I would like to find a nice frame then put a custom paint .

Very nice work.
Don't be sad if it doesn't fit. Consider it a practice run for future bikes you will restore. In time you will be thankful you did this project and the extra supplies you bought will pay off for future bikes.
Also consider switching the saddle if you will sell the bike...that one is worth keeping for another project after all the work you put into it.

Thank you , for sure i will keep the saddle . But in the end i am too attached to this bike and can't let it go , not even for 1000$, even if market value is about 200$.
This is what i am looking for now - is a " special " bike frame made by a french artisan :
This one was my size , but is not in stock anymore. I have speak with the shop owner to find one for me , if he can't find it, i will search for another Peugeot

Interesting split-seat-tube frame. What's the brand name?
Looks like an update of the ultra-short-wheelbase Rigi frames that were available for a while in the early '80's.

The artisan name is Bonnet ( de Roanne) - there are not many infos about on the internet but seems he was doing verry good job on the 80's.

Wow, very nice work! It looks brand new!
What I really want to know is how you got a Simplex front derailleur with no crack in the delrin

...nice one. This one came with the bike . It was a little faded ,but was treated with some plastic restorer . When i put it back i was not using too much force . I read on the internet as they tend to crack ...but not this one😅.
