Vintage 1975 Peugeot PX-8L - XL 64 cm - French Steel Road Bike - $250 (Pittsburgh)
QR Code Link to This Post
Rare 1970s Peugeot PX-8L in XL (≈64 cm / 25–25.25") - best for tall riders. Classic French steel with period-correct parts. 1975 or slightly before is the closest year that I can find for this particular bike. Also the closest model number I can find. I believe the "L" in 8L means ladies, which would mean a step-through, which this doesn't have. So, the model number may be incorrect!
Slowly refurbishing and getting this bike road ready, but since I'm not tall enough to enjoy it, or fully and correctly test it out, it is time that I stop.
Many parts cleaned and relubricated.
The crankset could be replaced, as there is a slight wobble.
I think the breaks could be tightened up, but it's tough for me to tell, since I am not tall enough to ride normally, and don't ride road bikes.
