Sometimes on French Ebay, Peugeot bikes are just like buses in London..you don't see one for a while..then they all come together.
And so it is this week on French Ebay..but I will only select one from the several now up for auction.
This one is a 1977 Peugeot PY10/CP, size 60 cms, weighing in at 10kgs..and it is situated in Paris.
*ITEM No: 260603538869* ** Do not be put off the bike by first appearances..as the angle of the saddle on the main photo make it look like a rodeo bike.
On closer inspection the bike looks to be very original..built of Reynolds 531 and equipped with SPIDEL components ie Simplex, Stronglight. Maillard, MAFAC..and it appears to be in very good condition.
The asking price at the outset is 280 euros..with the auction still having six and a half days to run.
If this auction follows the example of the recent one in which CR Lister Hugh Thornton won an excellent Peugeot bike..then this one too might be a real bargain.
I forgot to check whether the seller will ship abroad..if not there are ways around the problem.
