I'm sure in the rain downhill with those chrome rims it will feel positively a fast tank.

Embossed side walls Noisy as well.
@PhillB Pervatin, just what the f##k.
@sjcprojects maybe if you stung them together.

Surely it's more like a proper French tank, like this Renault...

As tanks go, that's a cute one.

If you want to invade in a "non-threatening" manner, this is the tank for you

So riding the Peugeot. I had a B66 on it. Typical coarse adjustment on the saddle clip. Too high or to low. I clean the original saddle and try that which I can get in a better position. Peugeot use a 24 mm seat post (yay go France)
Ages ago I found a 24 mm Stronglight micro adjust post, I've cleaned and fitted this and a Brooks Pro and all is good in the world. It's so heavy, I estimate 15kgs. Delrin front mech is showing cracks in the early stages. When it breaks I'll be fitting Suntour VX.
It brakes surprisingly well, shifts gears easily and seems to have fairly neutral and inoffensive road manners.
I'll tape it when I'm sure the position is optimal.

It is very rewarding to see an old Pug get this much attention and clearly brighten up because of it.

I just love it! The black paint, silver components and the style of the decals create a really attractive combination. It makes you want to ride it

You've done an awesome job cleaning her up!!
