Reborn!

I finally got the fixed gear project ‘finished’. I use the word finished lightly because this bike will never, ever be ‘finished’. At the moment, it is exactly how i envisaged it at the start of this project. So in my opinion it is now in a state of finished! :)

  • Frame/Forks: 1987 Peugeot Triathlon (Reynolds 501 Tubing)
  • Bars: Stock Peugeot
  • Drive: Nervar Cranks 42t Chainring & 17t Rear Cog with Charge Masher Chain
  • Seat: BKS X-Mission Saddle and Stock Peugeot Seatpost
  • Wheels: Charge Dish
  • Tyres: Vittoria Rubino Rear and Continental Ultra Front
  • Misc: Dualism Straps, Wellgo Pedals, Atax Quill Stem, Cinelli Lumen Bartape

Here are some pictures:
