Vintage Peugeot
Greetings. I’m the new owner of a broken UO8 that I purchased from the original owner last week. He indicated he purchased it himself from an Annapolis, MD bike shop when he was entering High School. The goal is to get it up and running. I am not doing a restoration, but will try to clean things and get it working and riding. Got it for $10. Mostly needs a new chain, bottom bracket bearings, new tubes and tires, and has a missing rear spoke.
Also bought two Rusty mixtes to snag parts off of for the UO8. If all goes well I’ll have enough parts to combine the two mixes into one functional runner. They came from the Outer Banks of NC and are extremely rusty.
I’m sure I’ll have a ton of questions along the way.

Welcome. What do you hope to do with the old bike? Do you want to keep it original or use it as a rider?
There's a lot of love for old Peugeots here. I did this with an AO-8:
It is a lovely bike to ride.

Aubergine That's a great looking bike. I want to get the UO8 up and running so I can ride it and keep it. I want to keep it as original as possible within reason. Part of the fun is to get it up and rideable for as little money as possible. So far I have spent $25 to purchase 3 broken Peugeot bikes. haha.
Tonight I'm going to start taking components off and cleaning them. I'll post some photos as soon as I have the access to do that here on the website.
The Mixes came with some fun fenders with integrated front and rear lights and generators for the rear wheel. So that is kinda neat. Unfortunately, two of the lights are smashed, so I'll be doing well to get 1 working set.
The original owner guy told me that the UO8 has a different bottom bracket, so it does not have those cottered cranks. Looks like Sakae Ringyo bottom bracket and different cranks. I like the spring trap Swiss cargo rack on the back.
I also need to purchase some tools. Any recommendations for tools I should buy? I'm thinking I need a bike chain tool, bottom bracket tool, lock nut tool, at a minimum.
1. Needs new brake and shifter cables.
2. Needs new bottom bracket bearings.
3. Needs new tires and tubes.
4. Has a broken rear spoke, so I need to learn how to put in a replacement spoke. Is that very hard to do?
5. Need to clean and adjust the center pull brakes.

Great Ride...
Welcome to the forum. Hope to hear how you decide to progress with your bikes. The word "Restore" has many meanings here on the forum. Some members take it quite seriously...

I’m into fixing broken pinball machines and playing them. This will be my first time attempting to do the same with an old French bicycle. I am a fixer and user of things. I appreciate restorations, but I mostly get a kick out of cleaning and repairing things, then using them. I like old things to look old and I don’t mind signs of wear. I think it’s really cool when something old has been maintained and cared for enough that it works 100% and can be used. Hopefully my Peugeot UO8 can get working again soon so I can get some exercise in this summer.

Well, if your desire is to make a good bike to ride, my opinion is that the original steel parts are fine (or at least acceptable), with one glaring exception: the rims. The bike can be vastly improved by lacing decent aluminum rims to the existing Normandy hubs. Besides being lighter, they brake better overall. Outside of that, let's wait to see your photos so we can assess what to improve.
This bike is not a UO-8, but a lower end racing model that came with aluminum rims as standard. It is completely stock with th exception of the brake levers. You can see that the original steel bits look and work fine. But judicious changes can make your bike more enjoyable to ride.

How durable are those tubulars? I gave up tubulars in the early 1980s after moving to north coastal San Diego County and discovering goat head thorns, but I really should put tubulars on one of the Capo Siegers.

Is this a 27” wheeled bike? I recently purchased some EVO Dash 27x1-1/4 tires since they were the cheapest I could find and they seem quite decent and are made by Vee Tire. I have mounted them but not ridden yet.
For tools, I have some Park Tool and some off brands. Sometimes the determining factor is price difference (the Park is only slightly more, or is a lot more) and sometimes simplicity of the tool (hard to mess up a cheap one too bad) or I’ll buy better if I’ll use it a lot or have used an inferior one in the past. I have Park chain tool, cable/housing cutters, freewheel and cassette tools; X Tools crank puller has done fine; same with Bike Hand chain whip. Cone wrenches are maybe X Tools—cheaper set that has served me well. I found some of the headset and bottom bracket wrenches used.
Good luck on the project!

Last night I got the chain off of the rusty white Mixte. I think it is a UE18 because of the strange handle bars and fenders with lights on the front and back. Looking at the back wheel, the white one has the <77> year date stamped on the rim. After removing the chain, I next removed the Simplex derailleur. It looks like a long cage model and my blue UO8 has a short cage Simplex derailleur. I like how the body of the long cage model has more metal to it. My U08 derailleur has a broken jockey wheel. Ideally, I would like to move the short cage over to the one that has the long cage on it. It seems like it would work. If not, I'll stick with the short arm all plastic Simplex and get it working with a new jockey wheel.
Since my blue U08 has a broken spoke, I messed around with removing a spoke from the rusty white Mixte rear wheel. I removed the wheel, tire, and innertube from the rim and used a 5.5mm socket to get the nipple unscrewed from the rim. However, I need to figure out how to remove the free wheel gears on the back wheel in order to remove the spoke without bending it. So I need to figure out what special tool I'll need for that.
Fun project so far. The Primary goal is to get the blue UO8 working and ride it a bunch. Secondary goal is to combine parts from the two rusty Mixte UE18 bikes to get one functional rusty bike that rides and works properly. Third goal is to do all of that as cheap as possible.

Blue bike is very nice and looks mostly original. The rear derailleur claw is not mounted properly though. I also suspect the seatpost is not original. Check the diameter of the post and we can see if it fits properly.
The white bike is indeed a UE18 from around 1977 but the red bike is a few years newer, was made with Carbolite steel, and would have had a different model designation. I flipped through the catalogs on line but could not find a match, I'm afraid.

Seat post is something like 26.6 mm or 26.06 mm, I can’t remember. Polished the seat post while looking at it.
Rear wheel gears appear to be Maillard and made in France. Looks to have 24 splines on it. Guess I need a special tool to remove that.
Bottom Bracket is Sakae and not cottered with a bolt. It has play in it. Haven’t tried to remove it. But polished the sprocket and crank arms some.
Also polished the neck for the handlebars, whatever that is called.
Any advice for the correct tools I need to buy to remove the bottom bracket and rear gears?
I need to buy new cables. Can I get those pretty much anywhere? Are they a specific size I need to buy?
Shined Simplex

Bummed that the 24 spline tool costs more than the bike, but oh well. Ordered the 24 spline tool from ebay. Won't get here for a month....maybe....hopefully....
Guess I need to stick with old Peugeot bikes now that I'll have the flywheel tool.
I'll focus on the bottom bracket next. Hopefully I can dig into that some tonight in the garage.
Then move onto the brakes.

Not sure if you couldn't go to a local bike shop who may have the freewheel tool....I mean, I am all for buying tools and the Atom freewheel tooI bought in 1974 for a different Peugeot is still in use, but I am also frugal (aka a cheapskate) and might have checked for a quicker/cheaper alternative first. I have done this before with my LBS and they were happy to pop the freewheel off for free (I don't make a habit of it).
The crank puller though is likely to be useful on multiple bikes - so you would be making a good investment there. If I am not mistaken, the person who did the cotterless crank update used the original bottom bracket cups (which is quite acceptable - mine is the same) and so once the crank is off you won't need other special tools to work on the bottom bracket (unless you want to removed the fixed cup which I don't think is necessary).

markk900 I sympathize with you, I'm cheap, and my blue Peugeot is cheap. I decided that the most fun part of the project is doing all the work myself and learning some new things. The bike has plenty of other work that needs to be done in the mean time.
I hope to work on the bottom bracket tonight. A work buddy who is into vintage Italian bikes loaned me a bottom bracket tool.
