This vintage 80's Peugeot Equipe frame is still in great condition and remains a true cruiser. Originally, it only had a rear brake and a small groupset—perfect for casual rides but not exactly ideal for everyday commuting. After riding it myself, I had reservations about its stopping power, and I could feel that it needed more security for those quick, unexpected stops.

So, I went back to the workbench and upgraded both the front and rear brakes with modern replacements. Now, this bike offers a more practical, everyday ride without sacrificing its classic charm. You still won’t win any races, but you’ll feel more confident on commutes, local pub trips, or anywhere the road takes you.

Sometimes, you get a bike that doesn’t need much tinkering, but small changes make a big difference. This Peugeot has stood the test of time, and now it’s even better suited for the road.

Key Components:

  • Original 1x7 groupset, operated by a thumb shifter on the downtube.
  • New front and rear brakes: Upgraded for modern stopping power and everyday practicality.
  • Fresh tape, cabling, and outers: Clean and functional finishing touches.

Riding Style: Casual, but ready for daily use. The upgraded brakes provide the confidence to ride wherever, whenever.

Size and Fit: Large – Best for people between 175cm - 183cm. Seat tube length: 57cm.

Frame: The Peugeot frame is in excellent condition, with original decals preserved for that vintage touch.

New Vs Old: While the original groupset and frame remain, the new brake setup is a modern addition that makes this bike much more versatile for everyday riding.
