I got this at a yard sale this weekend. The lady I purchased it from wanted $20, but I offered $15 and she took it. I know by the serial # it is a 1954 Schwinn, but ive been unable to find out what model. This bike has a coaster brake and a multi speed hub. This is my first bike and Im so excited to do the restoration. Please help me identify this bike model. my email is ajpb@charter.net..Thanks. |

I'm trying to identify my bike,it's a 27" 10 speed.It has type 1 head badge and downtube decals,but the seat tube decal is "champion du monde",which I have not found on any web site.Equipped as follows:Simplex derailleurs,Rigida rims,Mayfac brakes.The frame is a sort of eggplant colour,and has no SN# anywhere on it.I would appreciate any help with this mystery. by: 68.102.118.221 |
Sounds like UO-8. See http://retropeugeot.com/ by: 216.15.114.27 |
I had bought a Peugeot for parts (the frame was crashed) - it also had "Champion Du Monde".....but no other identifying marks, or model number, etc. I figure it's a U-08 - just a newer model than my older, 1974 U-08. I guess the old Peugeot catalogs, etc. can identify the model. by: 74.235.34.46 |
normally i would agree,but the seat post decal suggests this a 1956 model commemorating the tour win in 1955 by the french Michael by: 68.102.121.143 |

I recently bought an old Peugeot at a good will store. It is a Montreal Express, which is some type of mid 1980's commuter bike (18 speed, 3x6) It has the blue/orange/white color scheme. Anyhow, it has 26" rims and the tires are marked, "to fit TRA-HB7" So is this some special tire that no one makes any more, or will any 26" ATB tire work on those rims? The rims are marked, "Etrto 559x20 DIN 26x1.75" Has anyone come across this before? by: 207.199.226.126 |
Short answer is MTB tires should fit. See Sheldon's tire size article: http://sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html by: 216.15.114.27 |
