Peugot Ladyback Tandem

[johnggold]

I have been given a Peugot ladyback tandem to restore.

There is a serial number punched on the crank base.

10100004079. I am not sure about the first digit as I have not shotblasted the frame yet and rust is making the first character hard to read, or it may be a symbol.

I am assuming that 04079 is April 1979.

I intend to fully restore the frame, as decals seem to be freely available, but there are components such as the rear hub brake disconnected - presumably not working.

This is my first tandem restoration - I normally restore 50s and 60s racing bicycles, so any information to help the rebuild will be appreciated.

I've owned and spannered on several such machines. The Atom hub brake is quite a thing (but needs to be treated with care) and the machines sometimes have French specification threading in the BB and headset, which is 'interesting'....

cheers

Start with the Headset, if there's a problem there you need advice ,it's quite a complex area.
In fact I do beleieve theres a Peugeout Tandem Owners Forum.
Other than that quite a competent machine, I've worked on a couple (only ever owned Solo Peugeot Machines though)
