@tg9541 I used to love those old Peugeot touring machines. I was seriously looking at getting one sometime in the mid 1970s, but never did. I loved those front racks The only thing I'd be careful about is the the tyres - they make look ok but if the casing is starting to perish they could fail unexpectedly! Non-index gearing is how we rolled for decades! Enjoy it

@tg9541 and as well as functioning fine, it still looks good too. I quite like friction shifting in a stately progress, no hills context.

@tg9541 Would totally ride that bike. No dry rot on the tires?

@tg9541 my father had also such a beauty And I was able to ride it my own a couple of years ago. Unfortunately one day a Land Rover Defender crossed my way and the frame of the blue pearle broke. I had to let her go.

@tg9541 This was one of my dream bikes at the time. I loved everything about it except the handlebars.

@tg9541 When we unpacked Peugeot bikes to build in the shop (this was in the 1980s) they came wrapped in a big plastic bag that mechanics referred to as "the placenta"
