Should i leave this as survivor or fully restore it?
« on: September 01, 2007, 06:34 PM »





I've already cleaned up the wheels and frame with autosolve....(these are the orginal pics when i first got it)
the crank is in a bad way though.....

wondering whether to leave it as is or go for the full resto???? :-\

survivors are always nice.

i spend ages restoring bikes, then scratch them up on the track or just loading them in the van.

i understand your dilemma though.

nos peugoet parts will be hard to find. but where there's a will.....
I want to touch ORB

Just clean it up and leave it as it is. Survivors are cool.
