Harv’s 1977 Peugeot UO8

Posted

Harv, the OTSG first Owner Submitted entry, has sent in another fine vintage Peugeot to accompany his first one. This azure beauty is a 1977 UO8, and is our first OTS to hail from Beverly Hills!
1972 Peugeot UO8

This Peugeot has spent the last 31 years on the streets of Los Angeles, having been first sold at the Beverly Hills Bike Shop. It was donated to the Bike Oven (www.bikeoven.com) missing a few parts and without tyres. But not too far from being a rider, at least both pie plates were intact. I replaced the front derailleur and chain and installed new tyres and cables. The 1977 Peugeot catalog shows Rigida wheels, but this one has Weinmann alloy rims and SR hubs. Aside from the upgraded derailleurs, all else appears original.

Thanks again Harv

    Sharp! This and the AMF Roadmaster above almost have me sold on the need for a bike with cottered cranks. Guess I’d better make room in the garage . . .
