Vintage Peugeot Racing Bicycle (Breadsall DE21)

I understand that this is a bit of a classic of it's kind- something about the 1st to have whatever sort of gears it has, or something! (I'm not a cyclist!).There is also a tray of totally random bicycle related bits, that you can see in the picture, if you want them too (let me know).

I'm told that traditional frames are sized by the seat tube, and the measurement from the centre of the crank to top of seat tube is 25 inches.

It's been in a garage for probably 20 years and is quite grubby with surface rust, and that's breaking into the chrome in places. The tyres are knackered.

It belonged to a now deceased friend, and I want to find it a good home.

 Please tell me why you'd like it! I'll be giving it a few days before offering it so everyone gets a chance to see the post! Collection will be by arrangement a few days in advance as it's not at my house and I'll need to bring it round.
