My friend gifted me this bike in “neglected” condition (I’m sure it’s original owner has been enjoying a carbon, electronic shifting bike for some time now), and I happened to have some parts lying around.
So I stripped down this vintage French steel frame, cleaned it thoroughly, and installed a mishmash SRAM mechanical 10 spd groupset with Red shifters; Force front derailleur, crankset, and calipers; and Apex rear derailleur with an 11-34 cassette. I had a set of deep HED wheels to throw on but had to cold-set the fame since it was originally 2x6 (check out the italicized "12 speeds" on the top tube! Fancy! I need to remove the Shimano stickers from the top tube now, too). A 1" threaded-to-1 1/8" threadless stem adapter let me put on a 70mm stem and carbon Ritchey drops. I was able to wedge some beefy Continental Ultra Sport III 700x28 tires on there.
I got busy and short on time (and just plain lazy) toward the end, so I didn’t record as much as I’d have liked on the build up. I also lost some footage of the bottom bracket and headset putting up a fight.
But now I’ve had it built for a couple of months and put a couple hundred miles on it. Overall, really happy with how it came together. Thumbnail photo by Jason Hoffman.

@@michaelphillips5453 haha yeah, it’s in my bike shed out in the back yard, definitely makes it tolerable in the summer!
I did a bit of a restomod myself on a 1986 Specialized Allez SE frame. The original bike belonged to a friend who bought it new right after he had graduated from college. I am loving how nice it rides, so much so, that I sold my full carbon Masi.
Great job and a beautiful bike indeed! I would like a Peugeot too but it seems that only large frames show up here in Germany for some reason... 👍👍👍
GORGEOUS!
ok this is fire
Very Beutiful! Nice!
I Have 5 Vintage Peugeots, I'm Sort of Doing the Same Carbon & Steel Build.
1.Peugeot Perthus Pro Reynolds 753r
2.Peugeot Professional 400 Reynolds 531
3.Peugeot Optimum 14 Reynolds 531 MK1
4.Peugeot Optimum 14 Reynolds 531 MK2

Vintage Road Bike for the Win 🤙🤙
Rim Brakes & DownTube Shifters are Staying on all the bikes.
I also have a Vitus 979 Duralinox 1984
KAS Team Replica.
I'm tempted to buy another Vitus 979 Duralinox in Purple and do another KAS Team Replica Bike.
4:28 Me literally yelling, "Nooo!" at least run some twine through there as you pull it out!
What HED wheelset is that? Those wheels look awesome!🤩
Thanks! I think they're a good depth without being too much. Not sure which ones they are, they came with a bike I bought a while back. I think they're an old Jet model, they've got aluminum rims and the black dish part is plastic. Really lightweight, the front weighs less than the full-carbon Mavic I have on my fixed gear!
incredible parts ,but that handlebars doesnt match with this build ,u must swap it to compact
Great job! I did the same in an old Peugeot city frame 1980. How dis you manage thé front dérailleur ? As with thé New crank bearing unit with external roulement m'y front dérailleur IS too short to go in the biggest crank concernant latérality ?
Have you got an advice for that ???
Thanks a lot
I used a clamp-on derailleur mount that let me use the modern derailleur without any issues. If your front derailleur won't go outboard far enough to get it on the big chain ring, try adjusting the location of the derailleur on the bike and then adjusting the limit screws and barrel adjuster on it. Basically just give it a tune up and it should have enough adjustment to work. Or you may need to get a new bottom bracket that's narrower to let the chainline come in a bit.
Thanks a lot
nice one bro! Do you know the weight by any chance?
Came in right at 21 lb
What was that move at 10:22? bending the frame to get more space for the new wheels?
Cold setting the rear triangle to make it just a bit wider. It came spaced for a 6 speed hub, which is a bit narrower than the 8-9-10 Spd hub on the wheels I was using. Sheldon talks about it halfway down this page.

@@drew657 after bending the rear triangle, the axle alignment must also be adjusted. The derailleur hanger must also be set parallel to the bike axle.
@@mutos82 Correct, and also needs to be measured that they were bent equally. I didn’t record myself doing that, I assumed anyone watching would either understand that was done or look up the procedure to learn to do it themselves.
Are they carbon wheels?
@@gokhanbalci4533 Aluminum rim with plastic dish, but the front weighs less than the full carbon Mavic that’s on my fixed gear (different rear on that bike)
nice build. did you go with quill stem adapter?
Yeah, quill stem adapter allowed modern stem and bars.
