1982 Peugeot PSVN 10. Just picked up from CL. The Simplex rear dérailleur was replaced w/ a random Shimano, the wheels and pedals are not the right ones, but otherwise original. A few rust spots to deal with (other thread).



The drilled crankset is original, Stronglight 104b.



The frame is Super Vitus 980, a pretty high-end tubing back in the day. 58 cm, which is 1-2 cm larger than ideal, but the only real issue is that the seat post looks a bit buried.



It is a 24 lb bike as-is, on the bathroom scale. That's about 2 lb heavier than spec 22 lb for a 56 cm.

Bought it as a summer "fast commuter": speedy, cheap enough to lock up in the parking garage, for days when you don't need fenders or racks.
