“Raw Power” is a stunning unique custom bike, handbuilt by Dead Rats Cycles and based around a vintage steel road frame fitted with carefully selected components. Its raw steel and monochrome aesthetic is captured best in the photo above by our friend Tom Baker. The 32 year old Peugeot frame has been modified for modern wheels, brakes & gears before being sandblasted to remove its original paintwork. It was then clear powdercoated over the raw steel to show off the gold brazing. With new decals also applied, the effect of the arrested patina is fantastic in the flesh! With hugely improved performance, lower weight and stunning appearance this is a one-of-a-kind retro/modern machine, handbuilt in Chorlton.

Hi,
This is really a beautiful bike.
I wonder which main color the Peugeot decals has. Have you baught them at velocals.com?
Thank you kindly! I know velocals but for this project ebay was the source for the decals. The decals are older than the frame, but then most of the components (aside from the crankset) are newer so it’s proper hotrod. I chose a lot of the parts based on appearance, I thought they all tied together well and I wanted the bike to have a raw almost monochrome look. Cheers again for your comment
I have an original Peugeot PH 10 S 54, needs work as my ex left it out for a bit, little rust on chain. Would like to refurbish and possibly sell.
Can you quote me a price.?
US $ Only.
Thank you. Sue
