My round-town commuter passed down from my dad who was the original owner. Tires, bar tape, and seat have been updated but everything else is original, even the plastic Simplex derailleur… 😬

    Sweet bike! Really cool, it’s been maintained so well, and is still getting use. In the past I used to look over Peugot because of French standards. Sometimes finding parts was a pain. Now since a lot of companies manufacture new retro parts. If I found the right one I’d be all over it. They make some sweet looking 90’s era bikes.

      “…if you want a poorly made frame with bad paint, buy French…”

      Thankfully, I fell in love with this bike before I knew that old quote. Hoping I can keep the whole thing operational for a long time. Good to know retro parts have come back in style more recently!
