Hey all, I have a 1984 Peugeot PVS-10 that is in great shape, but I've decided to retire it as a regular rider/trainer. What was the correct white (actually, more off-white) bar wrap and how hard is it to find? The rear brake cable has a bit of rust at the rearmost cable guide. Is clear-coated brake cable housing still available? Also, the weinmann gum brake hoods are shot and I need to find some of those. There is a pair on Fleabay right now for $50. ouch.
Early on, I had a set of wheels made up w/ Mavic MA-3's to replace the Mavic red-label tubulars that were on it. While I used a more modern Shimano 600 hub for the front, I re-used the rear Maillard for the rear. So I need a rim for the rear as well. Or, do I just run it as a PVSN-10? ; )
The question is, is the bike really worth it to return it to original? The decals are in good shape and the paint (anthracite or Black Metalic) is good, but w/ some scratches only through to the white primer.
What are your thoughts? I plan to hang the bike on a wall, but still ride it from time to time...
