This is the Peugeot that finally stuck. After building myself a mid '80s
UO10 (didn't care for the decals), a mid seventies UO8 in white (too big)
and a late '60s to early '70s PX10 (too "racy"), all
of which I ended up selling, I have finally built the Peugeot that I must keep.
It is a 1974 UO8 (bought new by the lady from whom I purchased it), with the
original ADGA seat. It had less than 100 miles on it when I bought it.
I used some black flip-flop wheels I had lying about, 700x35c tires and a
black Pyramid "Moustache" bar along with an SR alloy "Campy-like"
crank and bottom bracket spindle to build it up.
It was one of those builds which happened kinda accidently. I decided at
8:00 PM to put the wheels in the frame and see how it looked, and I
finished it off at 1:00 AM.
It turned out so awesome, and rides so nicely, that I decided to sell the
Flat Black Cafe Bike and keep this one. (I have a 10 bike limit for
personal bikes, until I find a place with more storage.)
Tres bien, eh?
