Hate to sell this stunning girl but she is just to small for me.
1986/87 Peugeot PZ10 frameset. This was their very top of line offering and is stunning. None of the typical sloppiness associated with French frames as this one has immaculate lug work, filing, brazing and paint. Rich golden champagne color with yellow to red fade chevrons on part of top tube and seat tube, black lettering (of the two other frames I've seen and the catalog pictures, they are all white - black looks so much better), long point lugs with black filled cutouts, fastback seat stay treatment, black outlines at transition point from paint to chrome on rear stays, 3" of chrome socks on left stays, 3" of chrome sock on right seat stay, 9" of chrome sock on right chainstay, brazed on shift lever mounts, one set of bottle cage mounts on down tube, brazed on TT cable guides, reinforced rear brake bridge with black fill in cutouts, Reynolds 531 Professional red label db tubing and 531 French label on forks, under BB cable routing. Includes a non-original NOS Gipiemme seat post with black fill in flutes (original was complete Campagnolo SR group), no headset included (English threads though), missing the rear dropout adjusters. BTW, I have no idea what brand the dropouts are as they are not marked and unfamiliar to me. They are not Simplex and the DO hanger is threaded for a "normal" threaded upper pivot bolt.
Frame was near mint when purchased by me and I then had Joe Bell touch up the few paint chips (done to perfection) and then had the frame clear coated by him. There was a small blem in the chrome on the underside of the right chainstay and JB cleaned and then installed a small chrome patch on it - this is completely undetectable unless the bike is viewed from the bottom. Otherwise, chrome on the stays is perfect. Fork has fully sloping crown and is fully chromed. Chrome on fork has some slight discoloration (not pitting) on the front of the blades when viewed closely - from ~5 feet away they look just as immaculate and stunning as the rest of this frameset.
I have the original matching water bottle in pearl goldish/white with matching chevron's at the backdrop for the black Peugeot lion; this is included.
Size is 55.5 c-t seat tube and 55.5 c-c top tube. Wheelbase is 98.5cm or just shy of 39 inches.
$395.- plus actual shipping. No charge for packing which will be done to a high standard.
NOS installed Stronglight Delta headset is available with the frameset for an additional $20.-
