Peugeot Competition 400 vintage road bike with Reynolds 525 steel frame and three-tube design, Shimano RX100 groupset, Mavic wheels, front 52/42 and rear 13-28 gearing, frame size 54, manufactured in 1976, used and located in Belgium.
Description from the seller
This Vintage bike has been fully cleaned and made ready to ride.
New brake pads, new brake cables, new front tire and new handlebar tape.
Includes 2 bottle cage holders.
The front tire in black/yellow is original and I left it as is; the rear tire has been replaced.
The visible rust is not penetrating and is part of the Vintage Look.
The sizes can be seen in the photos.
Vintage Peugeot Competition 400 (also known by the model code CP403E) was specifically produced in the early 1990s, with 1993 and 1994 as the most prominent catalog years.
Although the Peugeot "Competition" line has a longer history, the "400" model belongs to the series Peugeot introduced in the early 1990s as part of their refreshed sporting range.
The colors are black-yellow-red, which makes it especially interesting for Belgian buyers!
It is a sought-after model among vintage road cycling enthusiasts because of the reliable French engineering and its distinctive design.
The color scheme is typical for this series: black with red accents on the front and rear forks.
Groupset: This model is equipped with Shimano RX100 drivetrain and brakes.
Front two chainrings 52-42 and the cassette (7 speeds) 13-28 ratio.
Wheels: Mavic rims.
Explanation Reynolds 525 (3 Tubes):
Reynolds is a legendary manufacturer of steel tubes.
525 refers to a type of chromium-molybdenum steel (CrMo) known for its strength and the fact that the frame is relatively light, yet still absorbs road vibrations comfortably.
3 Tubes means that the three main tubes of the frame (seat tube, top tube, and down tube) are made from this high-quality Reynolds steel. The rest of the rear stays are often of slightly simpler steel to save costs.
The buyer collects or arranges transport themselves.
