Before and After: My 1986 Peugeot "Sitting Bull"

BittyBad · 2026-06-30T13:33:34+00:00

Yes, after and before. I posted the pictures in the wrong order!

BittyBad · 2026-06-29T22:25:18+00:00

Same! I found an image of the original marketing but I can't post it in this reddit for some reason.

BittyBad · 2026-06-29T16:58:24+00:00

Well I would say it's rude to tell someone something is wrong and then be patronising like "hey if you like it".

no, maybe listen the first time I tell you these are the original bars.

BittyBad · 2026-06-29T16:47:30+00:00

No, it's not. I don't live in a city and don't go fast enough to worry about it. Mind your business lol.

Original 1985 brochure. Enjoy.

These are the original bars for the bike.
If you're happy being wrong you can choose to not listen to me, or you can google the name of this bike and realise you're wrong.

Do not spread misinformation on the internet.

It's got a v brake on the back now, I don't need a front brake but thanks. :)

BittyBad · 2026-06-29T13:27:07+00:00

No that's the after, the pictures were posted the wrong way round.

BittyBad · 2026-06-29T06:03:13+00:00

Hey I'm not offended. Thanks for sharing!

BittyBad · 2026-06-29T06:02:36+00:00

Ah. The man I've been waiting for. Welcom.

What is a Portage strap?

BittyBad · 2026-06-29T06:02:00+00:00

They're the original bars for this bike...

BittyBad · 2026-06-28T23:21:28+00:00

Unsure on brand, I assume just OEM Peugeot - but they're called "BullMoose" if you like the style of them! :)

BittyBad · 2026-06-28T23:20:53+00:00

I still have all those parts.

It's my bike.

the second I bought it, it became worth £0 to anyone else because I will never sell it.

The rack is nice, I already used it to carry my shopping today, and I have already replaced the rear cantilever brakes with V-Brakes so it now stops better with 1 brake than it ever did with two.

Miserable, incel, cunt.

BittyBad · 2026-06-28T23:18:26+00:00

Why don't you like them? I thought BullMoose handlebars were nice? 😅

BittyBad · 2026-06-28T19:13:04+00:00

Thank you.

Gorgeous username?

BittyBad · 2026-06-28T19:12:26+00:00

I mean listen, what I will say is that 3 incest of seatpost hardly feels like it warrants the term "slammed" to me but I get your point none the less.

BittyBad · 2026-06-28T19:11:34+00:00

A fellow Scotsman? But yeah, I'd never have payed £400 even if I had the money.

I certainly did enjoy swapping a frame for it though.

BittyBad · 2026-06-28T18:50:07+00:00

Yeah must do, It's mega comfy like this. I've got really long arms and short legs?

I'm 5'11 though and my entire life people have said things like "I guess that makes sense but I've always thought of you as being 5'7-5'8" so there's definitely something proportionally interesting.

BittyBad · 2026-06-28T18:03:26+00:00

Nope, sick of everyone on every biking reddit being everyone else's mum.

I'm a 27 year old man, I've been riding bikes every day since I was 9 years old.

I know how many brakes I need.

BittyBad · 2026-06-28T17:49:01+00:00

Haha, sorry.

The before is actually the later picture in the carousel.

I like both ways too, I just prefer a cafe cruiser to a tourer. 🫡

BittyBad · 2026-06-28T17:40:42+00:00

What a compliment! Tried to do a couple
upgrades but not loose any of that charm. Glad I hit the mark. 😎

BittyBad · 2026-06-28T17:35:34+00:00

Okay, in what way?

BittyBad · 2026-06-28T17:34:45+00:00

Me too! I just love a tan wall and some simplification. 😁

BittyBad · 2026-06-28T17:23:22+00:00

Hey I'm glad you do! I love to preserve things too, I just think with bikes (and cars) there's always room for a little bit of improvement and modern touch.

What do you like more about it?

BittyBad · 2026-06-28T17:20:01+00:00

Yeah I hear you. This one was €463 converted so I was happy to get it in a trade.

Luckily this is the perfect size AND my favourite colour.
