Hi
I Got given an old Peugeot Premiere racing bike by my next door neighbour at the end of last year, I think it is around '84 vintage, it has a pearlescent white frame with blue stickers, it's quite a retro bike and they seem to go for reasonable money on ebay.
The front derailleur is a Sachs Huret and the internal face that pushes the chain away from the down tube has worn through the plating and is rusting badly.
I was thinking of trying to find something new old stock to bung on it, something Shimano would be good, there are lots on ebay with prices starting from £1 so hopefully a cheap bargain can be had.
What I would like to ask is are front derailleurs much the same regards the tube size they fit, also does it have to be a 2 Cog one, I assume you just tune out the adjustment with the 2 little screws?
Cheers
