Friends,
I have received a faded red Peugeot UO-18 mixte frame and headset, plus a bottom bracket for a cottered crank set.
I do not want this BB, which is still installed on the bike. If anyone can use it, please let me know off list. I suppose it's worth $20 plus shipping, but make me an offer if you disagree.
Here's the rest of my preliminary want list for the build:
FOR REPLACEMENT PEUGEOT UO-18 MIXTE TOWN BIKE
-Phil Wood 36-hole road hubs (100 MM front hub, 126 MM rear w/ clearance for 6-speed standard-width cluster on rh side) OR a used 700C wheel set with 36-hole Phil hubs and 126 MM rear hub. (My wheels,which had mid-1970s 36-hole Phil hubs laced 3x with SS DB spokes to OT silver Mavic Open Pro rims, running 28-32MM Panaracer tires. While it had OT components, these wheels were wonderful.)
-Used Brooks Pro or Ideale 90 leather saddle, or a Brooks B66 or B68 city saddle or similar. Need a narrow nose and full-grain leather.
-Used 25.0 MM seat post (alloy or steel). I'd like to find a used micro-adjust post--even a Campi NR two-bolt post would be OK. Decent condition is all I can afford, and I'll take a steel (stock) post if you have one with intact chrome.
-Used Campi NR LEFT crank arm ONLY (I have an old 144 BCD NR drive-side crank arm that will fit my one remaining Campi cyclo-cross chain guard. Haven't decided what single chainring to run up front or size of cluster in the back.)
-Used front cargo rack. I need one with a "low-rider" pannier mount and capacity of at least 30-40 pounds. Prefer black color and would like a flat front platform above the wheel, too. Must clamp around front fork blades--no bosses on the UO-18 mixte forks.
-OT Shimano SIS thumb-shifter and/or cable, to go with the 6-speed click-shifting rear cluster, which I may already have.
If you have anything like the above items that might work for my "new" ride, please let me know the details (item, condition, price). I will also be investigating local sources for these and other parts, of course...
Thanks, listers!
