=SAYBELLA'S PEUGEOT 3=

HERE'S THE FINISHED PEUGEOT FOR SAYBELLA... NEW SURLY 20T ON THE BACK, OURY'S, NEW RISERS AND A SET OF CRANKS... HAS THE ALL-CITY CHAINRING BUT I'M NOT SURE WHO MAKES THE CRANK ARMS. THIS IS THE GOAL FOR THIS BIKE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WHITE TIRES... I THINK THAT'LL CREAM IT UP, TOTALLY.

RIDE WELL BELL!!! THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED FOR THE SPARE AND NEW PARTS... WE CANT HAVE PRETTY AND TALENTED GIRLS RIDING THE STREETS OF PORTLAND ON JANKY OLD 12 SPEEDS NOW, CAN WE?!

=SANDY'S PISTA=

JUST A SHOT OF THE PISTA OWNED BY SANDYJONES WITH IT'S NEW SADDLE, BARS AND AN OLD-TIME FENDER JOB. OGLE AWAY.

=THE PIGEON=

SO I COPPED A PEUGEOT TOURMELET IN A TATTOO DEAL AND OF COURSE IT HAD TO BE CONVERTED...




THE NIGHT BEFORE I RECEIVED IT, THE PERSON GIVING IT TO ME CRASHED INTO A CURB AND BENT BACK THE FORK. AWESOME. IT ACTUALLY BENT THE STEERING TUBE AS WELL...



WHILE I WAS ABLE TO BEND THE FORK STRAIGHT AGAIN, THE STEERING TUBE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. AND ALTHOUGH ITS A BIT HARD TO TURN, I'M NOT TRIPPING!



DISASSEMBLY COMMENCED WITHIN MINUTES OF RECEIVING THE BIKE AND I WAS UNDERWAY....




I SWAPPED OUT THE CHAINRING FOR A 45 THAT I HAD FROM A PREVIOUS PEUGEOT CONVERT... HARD TO FIND THESE TO FIT, AS IT'S A FRENCH BIKE WHICH MEANS ALL THE SIZING IS HECKA WIERD.



THREW ON SOME NITTO RISERS, AND AN ALEXRIMS FRONT WHEEL...



THEN DROPPED IN A SPINERGY I COPPED FROM MY ROOMMATE...



AND VOILA!!! DONE DEAL. I GOT A LITTLE MORE HYPHY WITH IT AND SWAPPED UP THE FRONT WHEEL FOR A CAMPY 650, ALSO FROM SAID ROOMMATE SO I COULD GET JIGGY.


AND HERES THE FINAL BIKE... ALTHOUGH THE STEERING HOLDS SOME RESISTANCE AND THE CRANKS HAVE HELLA TOE-OVERLAP, I CAN STILL THROW BARSPINS AND RIDE MELLOW WATCHING FOR THE ALL TOO EASY PEDAL-STRIKE.

I LOVE THIS BIKE. THIS IS MY NEW RAIN MASHER... I'M PARTIAL TO TRACK GEOMETRY, BUT THIS IS ONE FUN BIKE TO RIDE. OH... I ALSO TORE OFF THE BRAKE-CABLE HOUSING FROM THE TOP TUBE, NATURALLY.

I NAMED THIS ONE THE 'PIGEON' CAUSE ITS WHITE AND DIRTY. WORD. SEE YOU ON THE PORTLAND STREETS MY FRIENDS!!!
