I'm trying to find the original width for the rear dropouts, 126mm or 130mm?
the 8 speed cassette hub was 130, but a 126.5 mm threaded hub with 7 speed freewheel was optional -- /Marten
Thanks for the feedback.
So you are saying that these bikes were available with either a 7 speed freewheel hub with 126mm spacing or an 8 speed cassette hub with 130mm spacing?
Cold setting isn't recommended with 753 tubing. If some yahoo bent the dropouts in for use with a 126mm fixie wheel, moving them back out to 130mm wouldn't be a good idea.

Not in 1988. 8-Speed Campy freehubs had not yet been introduced by then.
The frame's stock spacing was 126.
Nice bike, btw. A buddy of mine in high school had one of those, and we were all very envious. I really liked the DARK blue & white fade, with the red decals. Very pretty frame.

No, this is what Campagnolo offered. Don't know what Peugeot's buyer ordered

Thanks for the info. This frame is in really nice shape with only a few paint chips and scratches. I want to put it together with factory standard components as much as possible. I have most of the parts for a Chorus gruppo from that period.
The bike probably came with sewups. Do you recall what kind of rims your friend's bike had? Also what saddle?

light frame, but not that good for build quality and somewhat noodly as i recall. interesting historic value though.
on the subject of 753 collectibles, what i'd really love is a ti raleigh 753 from that year they won the tdf.
Never had much interest in Peugeots before except for some of the real old ones. I grabbed up this one because Id' never seen or heard of a 753 Peugeot before.
I was watching a Peugeot pro team bike in the UK on eBay a while back but it was a rust bucket and went for a small fortune.
I have a 1974 red, black and yellow Raleigh Team bike but it's made of fairly heavy gauge 531. Weighs a ton, about 22 Lbs. with sewups for a 56cm bike.

Chas.
I'm pretty sure it had MA-40s with Michelin Hi-Lite tires. Saddle was a white SI Turbo.
