| I purchased a track bicycle from someone recently. He did not know what the make of the frame was... A couple of shops could not tell me. I have posted pictures on flickr... http://flickr.com/photos/ofstuff/set...7603454513383/ Any help is appreciated. by: 70.112.149.89 |

| Serial on bottom bracket is 18414 as far as I can tell. Has Brev. Campagnolo track drop-outs by: 70.112.149.89 |
| Is that a road fork or a track fork? (oval or round blades)With centrepulls it looks like it's road. What size is the seatpost? How much does it weigh stripped? English, italian or french bottom bracket? Is that rear bridge drilled for a brake? Looks like Nervex lugs on the headtube but it's too easy to get distracted by all those xmas ornaments. Who sold this to you, one of Santas helpers? Was he training for the next "IronElf" competition. Ride it...someday, someone out of the blue will tell you what it is. by: 24.222.223.49 |
| Not sure if the fork is track or road. I can not remember what the guy said about that. He may have said it was drilled for a brake... or it could just be a road. The fork crown does not seem to match the lugs though. What ever the case the brakes were not originally there with the frame. Not sure about the weight stripped. Currently has stuff all on it... though I am pulling stuff off slowly (when I have time). I will weigh it when I get done. I do not know how to tell the on the bottom bracket. Can you give me a tip? Rear bridge is not drilled. Xmas lights are off now... They did help with visibility and were fun for a bit :)

| The seat junction looks like a Carlton frame (british) the way the seatstays wrap around. I understand that was their "exclusive" in the late 1960s. They used Capella lugs thru 1967, I understand. GB stamped by bottom bracket also would be consistent with a british or Raleigh/Carlton origin. The fork looks to have been drilled out later. I've not seen one like it before. It may be the original track fork because it looks like it was a straight fork rather than curved. The tubes look round not oval on the fork, also a distinctive feature. Can you show the rest of the fork and the fork ends? How hard is it to strip a track frame? take off the wheels, stem/bars, seat/post, cranks and you are basically there. There is a way to lookup serial numbers on retroraleighs I think. Maybe they have carlton numbers too? by: 24.145.157.232 |

| I have a Huffy American B/I bannana seat, it is orange and black with front and rear fenders, it has a slick tire in the back, and chrome handle bars and sproket. it is in great condition. how much do you think it is worth, and what is the age by: 71.54.77.7 |
| Need help. Just bought a Peugeot bicycle over the internet. Not familiar with them, but a couple of things seem unusual.After a couple of rides I have noticed that the paint is chipping away very easily revealing the frame, although the bike arrived in near mint condition. Could really do with some advice in determining whether this is a genuine bike and not a re-spray or something. Would there be any manufactures mark on the frame itself? The stickers seem correct with 'Tube Special: Carbolite 103' e.t.c and the wheel rims say 'RIGIDA - Chromage Superchromix'. Can't spot any serial number or anything on the frame.Thanks for you time, much apreciated.joe by: 78.145.36.84 |
| I have a Peugeot with Carbolite 103 frame, internally lugged. It's original, with original paint. I had it listed on ebay - and it sold - but the buyer didn't have the money, backed out, etc. - so I still have it. You can look on ebay at the completed listings and see it. It was from about 2 weeks ago....frame and fork. I have had several of these with the Carbolite 103. This was my last one. Of all of them - I never experienced anything with the paint chipping off, or peeling off. I know sometimes - if you have the forks and stays with chrome ends - the paint doesn't want to stick so well to the chrome plating. Are you peeling, or chipping off there? Or is it all over? What's under the paint? Is it Chrome underneath? Or bare steel? Or another color paint? No, I've never experienced that with the Peogeots with Carbolite 103 frames. by: 198.137.214.36 |

| Peugeot bikes were never really known for their paint jobs, I have a few late 70's ones here in white that are losing their paint and I know these are all original The paint loss looks like its just shedding the paint, the paint cracked and is dropping off the frame. Chances are it was just bad prep work and since these are stored out in the garage the temp changes are working on the paint somehow. I think if I hit it with compressed air, most of the paint would blow away. It's not all over the bike, only in certain areas. The chainstays and seat stays and head tube are the worst, with some on the bottom bracket shell. A lot of French bikes back then had poor paint, they were pumping out so many bikes I guess paint quality just wasn't there. I do have several that are still in good shape though. All of the ones that are losing paint are white. All of the ones that are peeling are just prior to the Carbolite 103 years though. These are AO8 and UO8 models that I have here. I also had a few Gitane frames do the same thing over the years, also in white. by: 72.73.197.70 |
| There may be a serial number on the underside of the bottom bracket that can help you date the bike. Visit my http://www.retropeugeot.com/ for catalogs... to help you identify the model by: 144.80.192.198 |
