This vintage 753 Peugeot road bike, in Z-team colours has had a complete transformation and restoration. The bicycle in the video is completely stripped down, repainted, restored and rebuilt before being taking back out on the open road for the all important test ride.
Is this the best bike build yet?
I collaborated with Mark from MRCreations to bring this vintage Peugeot 753 road bike back to life. We have used him many times before and he has never failed to impress us with his air brushing ability.
The video shows the full bike build and an epic ride. Plus hints, tips and help with your own projects along the way.
Watch as this Peugeot road bike is completely transformed to a classic Z-Team racing bike.

Come back the days when bikes were so easy to work on looks stunning, the colour reminds me of the old French Mercier colour

[@BikeItUK]

Can’t agree more! More reliable cheaper and easier to fix. Shame it’s gone how it’s gone. Definitely a golden age, thanks for the support happy cycling

Super job Andy and awesome paintwork. You have inspired me! I've rescued an old Carlton Criterium ( 1973! ) from a local junk shop and I'm in the process of doing it up. I never miss a post 'owd son!

[@BikeItUK]

Mate, thanks so much for your supporting comment. Great to hear you’ve been inspired, it keeps me doing what I do. Happy cycling buddy 👍

When I saw you going over those rail tracks again my mind jumped back to the Dyna Tech and how lucky you were not to have been seriously injured when it separated. Lovely build on the Peugeot!

[@BikeItUK]

😂 thanks for the concern, the Dyna-tech is now in a frame and I’ve got a replacement for it…watch this space. Glad you liked the Peugeot

Let’s… Crack Up !!! That was a weird one !

[@DietrichStockman]

My fork broke last time and I managed to get home safe. Even when old material breaks it still keeps going.

[@taichihead42]

Your riding position is absolutely perfect. I hope that the money grabbing industry is perhaps looking at your videos and consider bringing all these retro bikes back. We wouldn't have to pull them out of dumpsters then.

[@BikeItUK]

Couldn’t agree more, I’ve sold all my carbon now and seen the light. Like in many industries it all needs to take a step back. Glad you like the build thanks for your support

super work Andy. A couple of years back I restored a Peugeot Reynolds 531 Pro bike to 1985 team spec. They're wonderful frames 🙂

[@BikeItUK]

Thanks for the on going support it’s appreciated. Really enjoyed the ride it’s staying in the collection. I’ve seen a few of the 531 pros could do with getting my hand on one 👍

[@BikeItUK]

Nice, good idea…make it happen buddy 👍 Thanks for watching and you support

[@bruceyover]

@@BikeItUK ha, do you take on projects ?... I also have a Peugeot SLX and the complete mint 1000 series Mavic SSC group set !!!

[@GraemeDJ]

I think it would be a nice touch to add your opinion of the ride quality each time you restore a bike. (I've heard that 753 can feel overly stiff). Also you should do an episode on your favourite bikes and your keepers.

[@BikeItUK]

Yes it definitely on the cards regarding which bikes I’ve kept and why. Ref the frames I think the geometry and the accuracy of the frame builder probably have a bigger bearing on the ride quality. The 753 certainly felt lighter that’s for sure. 🤔definitely a good discussion and maybe a video in there. Thanks for the idea

[@DSBSB]

753 is less stiff than 531, which is again less stiff than 501. This is because the tube wall is thinner, making it flex more. The higher steels are stronger, but all steel has the same stiffness (modulus of elasticity). Therefore, if you have 2 identical tubes, one of 501 and one of 753, they will ride exactly the same. The advantage of the better steel is that it is stronger, so it can be made thinner, without bending. This makes it lighter, but also less stiff. Only shaping/oversizing a tube will alter this. It's all physics - ignore the marketing and internet stories.

[@petergledhill8994]

That's a gorgeous bike. Cost of resprays has made me try my own paint jobs - can't be as good as that & takes lots of time, but satisfying. Got a Peugeot 753, but with 10 speed set up & low gears for my old legs. Lovely ride.

[@dathanL]

Just rebuilt a 753 from a French frame builder called Preuss. The paint work was already brilliant, it required a special BB replacement and there was like one possibility in the entire world, everything went wrong and I won't dare tell about replacing the spring in the brifter, but i put on a 7410 dura ace set and the final result is amazing. Total fan of your channel Andy 🥳😍

[@BikeItUK]

I’m glad it all worked out in the end. I’m sure you know that bike inside out now. It’s how it should be, it’s yours! Sounds like a nice build I hope you have many years enjoying it now. Thanks for your on going support watching it’s very much appreciated

[@mkusanagi]

My good sir, I have stumbled across your channel whilst watching other restoration videos and you have pushed me to correctly restore an old colombus tubed schwinn that currently sits with a hodgepodge of parts. Slowly collecting old 600 tricolor group to replace the dia compe, suntour and shimano parts currently on it now. Unfortunately I don't have the means to paint in my apt or at work but rebuilding the wheels, headset and BB have been quite fun. Don't tell my wife though; i worry she might literally kill me and perhaps enjoy it

Still using a Shimano 600 chainset from back in the day , you can get a 38 inner ring to fit on the spider.. It has endured incredibly well. How much lighter is the 753 compared to 531 double butted. I forgot how much lighter it is . Nice paint job.. Days of the winter £30 respray via the local bike long gone .

Wow yes the £30 paint jobs are definitely hard to find these days. The bike it light, not sure how much lighter it is, maybe worth a separate video weighing and going through my collection. Thanks for watching and your support it’s appreciated
