Peugeot "Weekend" Take-apart Bike

[AndyA]

A friend passed this bike along in pieces. Now it's assembled and lubricated. The rod fender supports couldn't be used because of absence of necessary hardware, so I modified some stamped supports. The generator and lights were also jettisoned. The rear hub is a Torpedo Duomatic kick-back 2-speed. I took it on a test drive and the kick-back works nicely. Attached brochure is reported to be from 1968-1970.

Thanks very much for posting; these are fun!

Having the brochure is wonderful.

The fork blades appear to have "relaxed"/"softened" slightly.

This may be due to a juvenile getting hold of it at some point and riding off curbs or it may have been operated by a rather heavy rider.

If mine, would withdraw fork and place it in alignment gauge for a check.

Thanks again.
