55.5cm Peugeot PL40 c.1954 Vintage Touring Bike

£895.00

Peugeot are one of the few bicycle manufacturers that need little introducton. Maybe due to their rich history in non-bicycle related prodcution, be it mammoth car production, inventing the salt & pepper grinder or their humble beginnings as flour millers. The Peugeot family have always been one of industry, and it was an age ago, back in the 1880s when they began producing bicycles.

With that timeline in mind, acquiring a Peugeot bike from the mid fifites may seem somewhat insignificant, but 65 years is a long, loooong time for a bike to last, especially in comparison to today's standards. Not only is it still here, it's here in true time-warp fashion, sporting almost all the parts it originally came with. The paintwork is still original, and considering its age is in good shape still, testament to the hardiness of the paint back then.

We've uploaded a scan of the 1954 catalogue courtesy of bikeboompeugeot.com to check out the original spec, we'd like to thank Bike Boom Peugeot for such an amazing resource of catalogues, making the job of deciphering models & age of classic Peugeot bikes possible :)

As with all our bikes, it's been fully stripped, inspected & professionally polished & re-built. The frame is straight & true without any dents or dings - please inspect the photos for cosmetic condition as we photograph the bikes so you can see the exact condition of the bike before purchasing.

55cm Peugeot PC40 1950s Vintage Tourisme / Town Bike

£950.00

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Such a treat to have this mid-century Peugeot in our collection. A 1952 PC40 Model Homme, the 'lightweight' tourisme model.

It has had a few changes over the years, but it's mostly original, which is pretty incredible for a bike of almost 70 years old! The wheels are not perfect but they are most certainly the original wheels, as the 1952 catalogue is the only year to show the Menal 51 lightweight rims, so we've kept this baby as original as possible.

Certainly one for the collectors. See the last photo for a scan of the PC40 in the 1952 Peugeot catalogue.

As with all our bikes, it's been fully stripped, inspected & professionally polished & re-built. The frame is straight & true without any dents or dings - please inspect the photos for cosmetic condition as we photograph the bikes so you can see the exact condition of the bike before purchasing.

Peugeot-Michelin-Esso Late 1970s NOS Kids Full Team Cycling Kit

£145.00

Bernard Thévenet in-a-box!

These little team kits are simply incredible. Genuine dead-stock from the late 70s, they come complete with jersey, shorts & team cap.

Please check the measurements below as they don't have official sizes on them, the shorts should fit anywhere from a 20 to 26 inch waist, but please check the measurements below against jersey/shorts that fit well if you can to make sure.

They're still in their original boxes which haven't survived too well over the years. The kits themselves do have some storage related marks and as you can imagine they could do with a wash to freshen up the scent, but once washed your young Thevenet will be good to go.

Allez!
