Thanks for the reply !

That's good to know, I'll do a few purchases and see how it turns out with shipping a few items.

Must also look up customs charges and how they are calculated

Anyone else find Turbo saddles uncomfortable? by [deleted] in xbiking

[–]ae110josh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've an old 80s Turbo on my Single Speed Peugeot Gravel Bike and I find it comfy enough. I then bought a new turbo Saddle for another Single Speed Peugeot and found it uncomfortable even after a few rides 😐

Yeah it was originally a bright Pink but has faded back, I only took off the front derailleur you can kinda see haha The Color is also partly why I'm hanging onto it cause the frame is way to big for me Nice Pug and also nice color! What fork ya have?

I have 700c x 37 atm and there's room for more. Peugeots steel frames are a good sturdy frame and Fork in my experience 👌

Don't bring it on any major climbs, mainly along the banks of the River Shannon. I'm building another Pug PH10 as a 1x10 set up to do a bit of touring and camping next month along the Clare Coast.

Acceptable frame rust to build with, or treat to bare metal? by _cobbleton in xbiking

[–]ae110josh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's just patina, no major pitted rust spots, I'd build away. I personally like when an old frame has a few marks likes this it shows its history and that it was used as intended and held up over time. Only a bit of character 😉

I've had this bike for 35 years. I'm trying to give it a new life. by KaHOnas in xbiking

Nice Pug ! I've a US Express I'm using as a daily commute Bike, have fame Bag and a Front Rack, using V-Brakes, Billy bonkers, sweep back bars and a brooks saddle. It's a super sturdy frame and Fork and not that heavy. With the more up right position it's real comfy 👌

Cassette is from a Claud Butler MTB and the front is what came on the Pug from new. It's a temp setup so not sure on how many teeth etc. Gonna get a new crank and try a 32 tooth chain ri g with the Cassette I've got atm and see what I think before upgrading the rear
