Fixing up an 80s Peugeot
#1
Hey guys, I recently dug up my dad's old Peugeot PH10S from the early 80's and I'd like to do some basic repair work. I guess I should preface by saying I'm definitely a bicycle noobie but I figured this would be a great way to learn.

That said, the bike is currently ridable but the brakes are shot and it is quite dirty. The rear wheel appears to wobble a bit as well. There is also a sort of clicking noise coming from the rear derailleur I believe, but it does ride pretty well considering.

I plan on changing the brake pads (considering changing both entire brakes because I found a pair of Weinmann Type 500's on ebay but I won't bother unless it's necessary), tires, tubes and cables. I think I might need to get a new back rim because of the wobbling unless this could be something else. I also plan on giving it a thorough cleaning which I hope will clear up the sound I hear.

I'd love any advice you guys have for me from cleaning tips to any other suggestions on what parts I should replace. I'm excited to get this thing back to its former glory and hit the road!
