Peugeot Classique Restoration

- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- This video covers the restoration of this 1982 steel framed Peugeot Classique bicycle, built from Japanese Tange 2 double butted tubing. Peugeot bicycles where manufactured in South Africa (under license to Peugeot France), from the late 60’s until the 90’s by local frame builder Gotty Hansen (Hansom Cycles) and later by the Western Flyer Company in King Williams Town. The bikes were well built and affordable and this made them very popular amongst both the social and racing cyclists.
Nice bro. My first bike back in 1988 was a used classique from Dave Wiseman in Durbs. I rode that thing everywhere including dicing trucks down the freeway to pinetown.
Thanks 👍🏼 Awesome bikes and the dicing trucks brings back good memories down here in CT as well, we all thought we were bulletproof back then 😁👊🏼
Those clb brakes take me back to 1985. I had a set on an Orbit Gold Medal I bought in that year.
Beauty. My first "real" bike was a Peugeot UO9. Very elegant. I later became a fan of equally beautiful Italian bikes. Nice job! I like the patina. It provides character.
Thank you 👍🏼 Alas, those Italian beauties eventually draw us all in with their stunning good looks and sexy lines 😉
That's amazing work. I wish I had the patience to restore frames like this. Excellent!
Thanks John, it’s certainly a labour of love but the results make it worthwhile 👍🏼
Re using washers and crank bolts shows real commitment. Excellent work
Thank you, we save whatever we can 👍🏼
Looks great.. my old Viner has a corncob free wheel 13 to 23 a bit tough for my old knees with 52/42 crank
Yep, those corncobs are real knee crushers 🤣👍🏼
Dif between tange #1 and #2 is.8 .5 .8 and .9 .6 .9
Very nice classic Peugeot! (and a francophile seatpost) 👍
So many old bikes end up with an eclectic mix of components…Shimano rear derailleur, SunTour front derailleur., CLB brakes, Stronglight crank, and were those Huret hubs?
Modern bikes end up with them as well. The first thing most people do is customize their bike to suit their style, be it for weight or ascetic purposes. No one wants what everyone else has I guess.
Thank YOU for wonderful video a well detailed back it's glory good job Handyman! from Philippines
Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼👍🏼
Trabajo de Ángel esto SI es restaurar,mucha dedicación felicitaciones, excelente trabajo.
Muchas gracias 👍🏼
i have an attic full of classic peugeots FFYI
I’d so love to see the collection, I’m a big Peugeot fan 👌🏼👍🏼
Hello uncle Brett Its Tori I just wanted to say love you ❤️
Awww thank you precious child, I love you as well and can’t wait to see you guys really soon 😘
Awesome video! I've got my father in law's old Rapport that I'm going to try to get on the road again for after lockdown so this is an amazing help!
Wonderful, go for it, they’re great old classics 👍🏼 I’ve just restored a beautiful old Rapport for a friend and currently busy with a new video of a Rapport restoration.
Great work buddy, I like your approach to your restorations and a very authentic style to the videos - I'm contemplating embarking on some restorations here in the UK and have learnt some great tips and tricks from you, Keep up the good work.
Thanks Jason 👍🏼 Go for it, every old steel bike saved & restored is a step in the right direction 😝🙌🏼
You can make the cable guides on the top tube out of hydraulic tubing. The guide under BB can be made out of one of those steel guides off a V-brake. Beat the lockdown by dropping it off at the brazing bloke on the way to buy some beer LOL.
Great tips, thank you. I like the beer one the most 😊👍🏼🍻
@@BuffsVintageBikes I'm doing one at the moment- an Elswick, made from rusty 531 LOL. I use a DIY sandblaster to de-rust them. It is a pain in the bum to use, but it gets the last molecule of rust off the steel, and leaves a nice rough surface, so the paint sticks better.
Your restorations are great BTW, and the commentary is informative and nice to listen to.
Nicely done. Good job! Thanks.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Great video. Love the look on the Chainstay. Think I might go for the same look
Really enjoy your videos. Could you do a video dedicated to the tools you use for grinding and buffing? I’m confused on which compound and pad to use for each job.
Thanks for the feedback William, I’ll make a plan to cover that in a future video 👍🏼
I like leaving the paint as is I have a Windsor myself I just touched it up it has that ratrod look once I get my MTB back online I'll tear it down clean up the mech and clear coat the frame to Freeze the look I'll probably add green and white stripes in place of the black on a red bike to pay homage to it's Mex Italian heritage
Excellent commitment to a beautiful restoration, I have had my Peugeot Classique in my Garage for many years and decided to ride it again today. Needs some love and care! never had the heart to part with it. Maybe its time to do the right thing and restore it. What do you think?
Thanks Dean 🙏🏼 It’s always worth saving these old classics. They still give a wonderful smooth ride once cleaned up and serviced and will probably outlast us if well cared for 👍🏼
Amazing restoration!!
This bike deserves a new paint job.
Nothing wrong with the rat look. It's the mechanicals that count.
Looks Awesome with that "controversial paint job"😉
Jami-Leigh Olivier thanks Pudz, you've got good taste 😄👍🏼
Great video, very informative. I'm in Ireland and am about to start a refurbishment of an old Peugeot. I was curious to know what products you used for the polishing of the handlebars, stem, etc and what attachments used on the dremel. Thanks also for the history lesson of the bikes production. You've earned a new subscriber. 👍🇮🇪
Busta Bloodvessel Thanks for the comments and subscription 👍🏼 I'm not sure what the Dremel attachment is called but it's the same one that takes the small grinding disks. Almost all my polishing is done using Scrotchbright pads (I cut them down to size for the Dremel) or different grades of wet sandpaper as prep work and final finishing with Autosol polish. Hope this helps and good luck with your restoration 👍🏼
@@BuffsVintageBikes Thanks for the advice and tips. I watched a couple of your other videos and got some good info there too. Thanks for taking the time to record and upload them, it's very much appreciated and they are very, very informative. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your future uploads. Thanks again.
Strange Peugeot, the only french parts are the CLB brakes and the Stronglight crankset.
Very common on the Peugeot’s built in SA. Most were fitted with Suntour groupsets.
nice video - I've just posted one about rebuilding my old Peugeot PY10LS in Reynolds 531 Pro tubing to 1985 pro team spec :-)
good job 👍 but i wish you had painted the all parts of the frame.
it was a beautiful bike and it would take a lot of work to do a complete restoration and as i am finding out it gets to be expensive to make all the changes that are needed, this bike was built during apartheid and if it could speak it probably would tell stories...
Indeed, investing in a full restoration is always a balancing act between your heart and your wallet 😄
Hi, I'm French speaking and I like how you pronounce "classiiiique". When I was a child I dreamed of having a Peugeot.. What a great job, bravo !! Au revoir :-)
😊 thanks for the kind words 👍🏼
Why didn't you have cable housing where the gear cable wore through?
They weren’t designed to have a cable housing in there but it’s certainly a fix that can be used if so required. I just wanted to keep it as original as possible.
Is it a vinyl brushing wheel you used on the break levers?
It’s a type of scotchbrite pad which I buy in strips and cut into disk shapes.
@@BuffsVintageBikes i bought 3 different pads and did the same, works amazingly. Thank you so much my friend 🙂
Great stuff, glad to hear it worked for you, all the best with your restorations 👍🏼
very nice build! quick question on the polishing wheel, are those just scotch bright wheels? and whats the compound you are using to polish the aluminum components?
Thank you 🙏🏼 Yes, I use various grades of scotchbright wheels depending on how bad the damage is on the part. I use Autosol metal polish on all aluminum components to get the shine.
@@BuffsVintageBikes very cool, thanks for the tip. Also what is the solvent you were washing the parts in? just soap and water? or was it a parts cleaner?
@@sanchir82 I normally use a parts cleaner (degreaser) or if it’s really cruddy, then I’ll use paraffin because it’s oil based 👍🏼
My dreambikeeee :(
Are the clear coated parts rusty already, or keeping up?
I sold the bike but the new owner said it’s still holding up well 👍🏼
Me seeing the final look: AAAAAAAAHHHHH
🚲😮👍
Excelente 👍👍👍
I have a love-hate relationship with downtube shifter, sometimes it feels so uncomfortable and inefficient.. But man, that's the most romantic way to ride a bike.
I hear you loud and clear 😁👍🏼
@Bill Bradford well. I ended up buying a second vintage bike and put a modern groupset on it.
But yes i do agree with you, it inefficient and uncomfortable.
But there's something with downtube shifters, idk what.
I just love the feeling.. Sometimes haha
'Pretty from far but far from pretty'
Spot on 👍🏼
Dream bikeeeeeeeeeeeeee :(
The term restoration refers to metal treatment, paint and relabelling. All you did here is remove rust by sanding and making things look worse.
You’re correct… to a point. The parts were however fully restored and although the paint wasn’t redone (due to covid constraints at the time which I mention in the video). It certainly wasn’t made worse as the rust was removed to stop further creep. But thanks for the feedback 👍🏼
