If this bike could talk it would have a good story I'm sure. I traded a Raleigh Marathon (that i LOVED) for this one because the Raleigh was just too big. A co-worker had a bike building business she ran out of the garage at the time and said she would do the Peugeot. She spray painted it, converted it to fixie and did all that jazz and I thought it was wonderful, until about a month later I realized it was the crappiest paint job in the entire world. So after working hours upon hours of overtime I finally dropped her off to be powdercoated. Re-did the pink brighter and more fluorescent (pictures don't do it justice) and got myself some beautiful deep-Vs. Hooked it up with the yellow Specialized to make it pop and it was done. Currently saving up some money for minor alterations. The pictures are from most recent to oldest with the backwards progression from the original paint to the spraypaint job the day after it was done to a month after it was done, and then present. Let me know what you think!
