$35 Day


Well today was very interesting to say the least.  Upon arrival to dump all of my "junk" to my neighbors Charity garage sale the bike gods were in align.  

As I walked in the Garage here is THIS Peugeot with a $35 price tag stuck on it.  I almost fell over.  Well boy and girls it is in the Gabus house hold as we speak.

Ok now what year is it and is it a PY or a PX. Only the Francophiles know.  Those on the list let me know.

DIY Cleats



After a couple of requests about shooting pics of my DIY cleats here you go.  Once I got my fanny in gear this only took about an hour.  Since I am part time carpenter and helping hands at home fixer better known as "honey do's" I had all available tools. Just go down to hardware store and buy a cutting board a get going.  First take your old cleat and use it as a template. Then take the shaper and shave down the front end so you can slide the cleat on to the pedal.  Drill and counter sink your holes for mounting to the shoe and cut the groove so that the cleat can saddle on to  the pedal.  Do not, I repeat do not cut the saddle groove to deep (less than half way) or the cleat will spit in two.  Any way if you have questions or comments just load them on the blog and I will get back to you. They work pretty good and you can like doritos "always make more"

75' Moulton (M 578)

As some of you know I think Dave Moulton in one of the finest frame builders in our time.  One great thing is he still living and riding.  I have managed to locate and purchase on of his oldest frames.  Serial # M 578.  David started building frames under his own name in 1975.  That makes this frame number 78 of that year.  I have collected a number frames and I think this is one of the best.  

I can't wait to build this up and see how she rides.  The Maiden voyage should be very interesting.
