Well I never said what age I was and that isnae my bike either , but it is a good example of a 7ts bike . As far as I know Harry didn't build the frames but had someone else do it and badge them up for him . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Can't believe how well this one scrubbed up , the chrome is superb condition considering its age , purchased from Harry Keiller , paisley circa1978. 52cm 'youths bike' with an allegedly lightweight frame 'cadre allege' Fully working bottle dynamo , wired in to the underside folds of the mudgaurds and with little braze ons just to hold the dynamo wire to the frame. Originally with black bar tape but I thought red made it look more French. Simplex derailuer in perfect condition and working all 5 gears perfectly. About 30 hours work to strip clean, restore and completely rebuild , well worth it I think Edited September 27, 2016 by ped edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FS Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Cracking restoration job there, where's the dynamo by the way ? Cannae see it ! Thinking back I think my first Keiller's racer was a 'Puch' not a 'Peugeot' which I got later.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted October 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 The Dynamo bottle is on the other side , there is a braze on bracket for it and a little cover over the top of the bottle to stop any wet weather spray. Im surprised at the effort gone into welding all the little braze on brackets onto the frame and how neat the the Dynamo set up is, nowadays things are zip tied into bikes.
