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.....

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