Peugeot PE20

I had a message last week that a fairly local person was getting rid of a very lightly used bike and was I interested.

Well I managed to find time this morning to go and see it .

My first thought was to use the parts to get another one of my projects completed but this looks to good for that .

I wasn't expecting to see a less than 20 mile old bike . Just a shame it's not a bit bigger than 20"

That's a beauty.talk about original well they don't come more original than that.

..... even down to the original white wall tyres and wheel reflectors.
What would it be, nineties?

Love the colour, cream is an underrated shade . Internal cable routing and unicrown fork started about 1988 I think.

I agree, my first drop bar bike was the same colour as Martin's pug, a Ted Gerrard from his shop in North Finchley.

Dinky size though, wouldn't imagine it was very rideable - it wouldn't be for me anyway!.

Thats a cracker, shame its so small, I'm a shortarse and its too small for me, in old money I used to ride 21-22 inch frames.

Yeah it's only a 20" but rode ok on the short loop I did.

I wonder why they fell by the wayside? Back in the 1980's Peugeot were pretty well regarded, particularly for their sports bikes and you even used to see the odd rigid MTB made by them as well. I still regularly see old steel drop-bar Peugeots in use, sometimes as commuter machines. Aside from using weird threads (well they are French!) they must have been decent quality, otherwise there wouldn't be so many of them still around today.

Not a dinky size at all. I would say that it’s just about perfect.
