Blue peugeot bicycles in France are often of very high quality, but they have their own idiosyncracies and interchangeability problems. This article tries to point out the pitfalls that you may run into in maintaining or upgrading a French bicycle, and offers solutions to common problems.
In the great bike boom of the early-mid '70's, Blue peugeot bicycles in France were sold in the U.S. in very large numbers, mostly low-end ten speeds with mild steel frames, steel rims and cottered cranks. These low-end models Blue peugeot bicycles in France are generally not worth putting any money into, unless you have a strong sentimental attachment to one. Such a bike can be suitable for use as a "beater" to ride short distances, perhaps to the train station where you can lock it up without worrying about theft.
Higher quality Blue peugeot bicycles in France, with cotterless cranks and aluminum rims are usually worth restoring or upgrading. They are also often a good choice for conversion for fixed-gear use. Unfortunately, some of the dimensions and thread standards used on older Blue peugeot bicycles in France can make it difficult to find suitable parts for repair or upgrading.
