~1972 Peugeot UO8

My round-town commuter passed down from my dad who was the original owner. Tires, bar tape, and seat have been updated but everything else is original, even the plastic Simplex derailleur... 😬

"...if you want a poorly made frame with bad paint, buy French..."

Thankfully, I fell in love with this bike before I knew that old quote. Hoping I can keep the whole thing operational for a long time. Good to know retro parts have come back in style more recently!

The bar tape looks amazing!
