Project 10 Speed:
01/29/2007
Would you believe I found this bike on the curb tossed out for the trash man? This in case you don't know is a Peugeot 103 Carbolite, a bike that at one time considered a starting race bike, costing several hundreds dollars.
I've wanted another bike for the last several years since my mom in one of her helpful moods tossed my cheap Next that was dissembled for repair.
Plans for a few changes will turn this into a low budget commuter bike. How cheap you ask? This will be an all Ebay parts bike and already has seen it's first modifcation, a used Tioga T-Bone quill stem ($6.04 including shipping) moved the handlebar upward 2 inches. New Tektro v brake levers have been bought ($11.50 including shipping) and with a little luck a used Rocky Mountain Handlbar will mine for cheap.
I'll update the progress as the upgrades continue, but living 4 miles from work a bicycle will be the perfect item as Project S10 moves foward.
