peugeot record du monde


This one was given to me about half way restored, they wanted drop bars (like it should have been), and they wanted it to be able to stop.
I Gave it drop bars, new levers, new bar tape, and new chain. I needed to switch the wheels with some I had in storage for a better breaking surface.

I found a matching simplex front derailleur to go with the rear (It didn't have one). Lastly I ordered big gummy break shoes meant for mountain bikes. It now looks correct, rides and shifts smooth, and stops like a new road bike.
