This tall Peugeot is available.
The bike has new tires, tubes, and rim strips, new cables, new cable housings, new brake pads, and new internal bearings.
It's an early 70's('71-'74) Peugeot UO-8. Lugged frame, Simplex components, Sugino french threaded bottom bracket, Mafac brakes, Maillard quick release alloy hubs.
I would call the frame "scuffy". There are lots of places where the paint is scuffed or scratched...no dents or damage, just lots of scuffs. You should be able to zoom-in and check it out.
It shifts gears, brakes, and rides like most all Peugeot bikes... very smooth.
The frame measures 64cm(25 1/4") from the center of the crank to the top of the seat tube. The standover height is 35" from the ground to the top of the top tube. A rider 6'3 and taller should fit. To check fit, measure your crotch height while wearing your riding shoes to see if you are taller than the standover height. You want to make sure you can straddle the top tube while flat-footed. Leg length is more important than your total height.
This is a 10-speed(5x2) road bike. The bike has a Simplex Prestige rear derailleur and Simplex shifters. I replaced the original Simplex front derailleur with a period-correct Shimano. It has a Sugino crankset and a Sugino french threaded bottom bracket. It has Mafac Racer brakes with Shimano BL-Z32 brake levers. The bike has the original tire wipers(made to keep tires clean) attached to the brake calipers. It has a 5-speed Suntour freewheel. The bike has french-made Maillard hubs w/quick release skewars on both hubs. The rear rim is Araya steel and the front is Weinmann aluminum.
The bike was completely disassembled. All the components and the drivetrain were removed and deep-cleaned. The fork was removed and the headset bearings were replaced, greased, and the headset was adjusted. The wheelhub bearings were all replaced, greased and adjusted. The internal cups and cones where the bearings travel were all deep-cleaned to provide the cleanest and smoothest surface possible. The wheels were trued, the rims and spokes were individually cleaned. The bottom bracket was overhauled with new bearings and grease. The frame was cleaned and polished. The brake calipers and levers, shifters, derailleurs, cranks, chainrings, and drivetrain were all disassembled and rebuilt. There's not a nut or bolt on the bike I haven't touched.
I have left the handlebars bare so that you can customize it with whatever color bartape you like, and so we can adjust the brake levers before locking them down with bartape. I have a couple of colors of tape for sale. I'll bring these along when we meet up.
Price is listed in the comments.
