Racer-X (Peugeot Mash-up) Single Speed Bicycle

Dale

Coast to Coast
Ive been putting this together over the last three weeks or so.

I had new bearings fitted to the Benottos original Campagnolos, and I cleaned them up. Put on a set of slicks I had lying around.
I also had a set of handlebars and brakes that were in the Benotto parts box.

So I went around trying to find an old steel frame to put something together. They're getting scarce, and the good ones are expensive. But I managed to find this old mountain bike(?) frame in a shop near me that was good size wise. It had Peugeot Pathfinder Pro decals on it - googled it but couldn't find anything.

Bought new was was the crank, BB, pedals, chain tensioner, saddle and seat post.

Additional second hand stuff was the road bike fork, and a stem.



THE BUILD:

Had to cut off the tires. They were many years old and hard as rock.

Cleaned up the wheels.

Started stripping off the paint, and cut and ground off all the brackets and tabs I didnt need.

Paint.

Metallic Silver Metal paint.
Clearcoat.
Then did a light scotch brite rub over the clearcoat to give it a brushed aluminum finish.

Assembly starts.

That Desmo Owners Club One was calling out to me... I would Trade you a piece of my Art for some...If you go to Lounging at the Club there is a Member Art section my thread is in there with lots of pictures of things I have Made
 
Dude, they're yours. You can have both the patch and the decal. If you look closely you can see both. They really aren't that rare I don't think, you get these when you join the Desmo Owners Club in Europe and other related regions. Certainly not worth one of your awesome license plate creations IMO! :) If you want to give me a small one as a gesture of generosity that would be great - (I think theyre amazing). But really its not a fair trade, and it would rather be one person doing something cool for another. PM me and Ill send them to you. :)
