I regret selling this. I'd accumulated some of the Mavic SSC bits for the build, but the way the price of the remaining bits was going up, it was going to be a $1,700 bike when done, and I just didn't want it bad enough. The buyer is a friend and I have first dibs should he sell.
Guessed yet ?
PY10FC, super clean, I think around 1983. As ridden into the clouds by Robert Millar.
Interestingly, it is not just a rebadged Vitus Carbone. The tubes have a different (larger) diameter than the Vitus' CF tubes. Peugeot did something proprietary. |
Peugeot recalled those in '86-87. I destroyed 200+ of them. I kept a bunch of the Stronglight headsets and road them on my MTB's till Aheadset came out
