I was thinking about selling this frame I found on the street awhile back and put together with odd parts both on hand and sourced through Ebay. I was looking online trying to determine the model when I came across duprejohn's 'beater, beaten'. Huh. That looks real familiar. Turns out he lives around the corner from me.
So I now know it's a pedigreed killer and death-trap with blood on it's hands, and yet I like the way it rides. I'm on the fence about getting rid of it, it's nice to have at least one geared bike-- you never know when a hill might suddenly spring up in NYC.
Aside from the stem, nothing on this bike is original or 'correct'. Definitely not a ride for you Peugeot-philes out there.
