Curt- Wow, beautiful build. Right-on for the toe clip / pedals. Vintage is all about the character... nostalgia coolness with toe clips, down tube shifters, etc. You'll really have a challenge in a paceline.. LOL and good luck.

(btw: Are those leather or nylon straps? I much prefer the leather as they don't flop loose like the nylon.)

You are suppose to cut them short to save weight:D

Merckx claimed that the blood was not flowing all that well around the saddle after some time on that bike during the hour. He couldn't walk nor sit after for a couple of days.

Yes, I did. How the hell does one go that areo for an hour? I can manage and suffer for 10-15 minutes, but an hour?

Some long sought after wheels arrived last week :cool: From back when 'Service des Courses' actually meant just that, not a marketing term to sell wheels like today.

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

jyl	08-10-2014 05:25 PM

How come they were recalled? What was the problem?
