Restoration of a Classic Vintage Road Racer Bike

[@scottpeper106]

Wonderful project. My first adult bike was a similar Peugeot of the era. Same color, construction and components. Great refresh of memories. Thanks much.

Thank you very much for your nice comment, I am very pleased

Mid 1970’s Blondin, with original components is quite cool ! The green, yellow and tan color scheme is a classic ! Well done on the rebuild. I’m sure it rides,as good as it looks !

[@upcyclingbikes]

Thank you, I love the Blondin. The green color gives the bike a special nostalgic flavor. As far as I know, the Blondin is completely original And it rides very smoothly.

Robota fajna ale przydało by się coś merytorycznego na temat tego roweru z którego roku kto produkował lub coś wiecej

[@upcyclingbikes]

Dziękuję bardzo, niektóre informacje są zapisane w opisie. Niestety tylko po niemiecku. Rower pochodzi od marki Blondin. Sklep istnieje do dziś we Francji. Myślę, że motocykl musiał być zbudowany na początku lat 80-tych.

Hello What Medium did you User at 5:20 that foams

Hey, I use Ballistol products for heavily seized grease. For rust, I use Sonax products. Be cautious with the Ballistol resin solvent, as it is not suitable for every surface. BALLISTOL 82219 Harzlöse. amzn.eu/d/7Jk0gDB

[@upcyclingbikes]

No I dont paint it. The bike has already found a new owner 😊

[@jasperedwards2713]

thats good i was disgusted by a dutch company collecting all the old bikes repainting them and putting there name on it i think its theft@@upcyclingbikes

[@upcyclingbikes]

@@jasperedwards2713 ohhh Such stores exist here in Germany as well. It borders on theft, but it isn't as long as the brand is unprotected. If it's still a protected brand today, then it's theft.
