My first vintage build. Nothing too special but it’s been a great learning experience that ill be looking forward to using when I pick up something higher quality. I hope to use this as a heavy training bike and occasional commuter.
I’m doing the exact same thing with a Peugeot Dumonde at the moment!

What exactly are you doing? I would be afraid to mix together all the parts like that and then forget what goes with what.

Just curious, I had polished some dull aluminum brake parts and then been told that it could remove its protective finish and shouldn’t be done. Do you know if there’s any truth to that? Or if there’s any way to safely polish aluminum or protect it once it has been polished?

Good luck with your build! That’s a really nice color. I put together a 70’s PR10 to use as my commuter and it was quite the learning experience sorting out the sizes needed for everything. I’ve never had a steel road bike and it’s really nice to ride in comparison to my modern aluminum frame.

It’s a process. A fun process.
