Classic & Vintage - Pic of Farrah Fawcett on a Peugeot PX-10

Hey fellows. Check out this photo of Farrah Fawcett - our 1970's heartthrob. It looks like she is on a Peugeout PX-10.

Can anybody confirm?

Ah yes. Now I remember why I liked bicycling so much in the '70s.

Depends on how the bike was kept and you know it. :p

uuhh what bike?

There's no chrome on her stays. She's not a (PX)10.

mmmm... cheesecake....

And I expected to see a FF decal on a bike tube from reading the thread title! :roflmao:

Thanks for the fantasy.i love you Farrah.

"I'd still rather have Farrah... The bike's an easy find."

Even easier since it looks like a UO8. I like her comfortable cycling shoes, too. Such style!

I completely forgot what I was going to say........

Nice lookin' ride.

Bike's not bad either.

Was it around this time that American cyclists started to get serious about drafting? ;)

I dunno. Several years ago Farrah was in Playboy. I don't know exactly how old she was, but more than 50. She was in a lot better shape than most of the '70's bikes I work on.

She sure didn't need any replacement parts - or maybe she had some upgrades already, but still a beauty.

Those cycling shorts look uncomfortable!

^^ Yeah, at least Farrah's swimsuit isn't crawling up her bum.

I think fashions back then were more flattering to the average figure, and the "ideal" female figure wasn't as far removed from the mainstream average body type.

Part of the reason I wear so much vintage clothing is because I find old clothes to have a more flattering cut. Also, because they are way funkier.

I wear vintage clothing mostly because I bought it new...but you are right about the ideal human figure shifting off of the norm. Barbie and GI Joe are at least partially to blame.

Would another angle help?

Would another angle help?
Yes, it does help me at least. :D

Yeah I remember that. We use to be boyfriend and girlfriend in San Diego; she'd jerk my chain and I'd grease her saddle. That was as close as I ever got to a Peugeot.

Yes, it does help me at least. :D

Oh, good Lord. ANOTHER of these "hot female cyclists" threads? Weren't the other threads deleted, both men and women "hot cyclist" threads?

I thought you guys maybe were a little more mature than this by now. I would be ashamed.

:rolleyes:

The sun came up today. We adore the sight of women today. Stop one and you may stop the other. :)

i don't think anyone is claiming Farrah was a cyclist.

and acceptance is heathier than repression.

At my age, I've got one hormone left, and I'm clinging to it tightly! :D

I think men (or women) should never be ashamed to admire a woman's beauty... Q: ARE WE NOT MEN?... A:

WE ARE DEVO

And I will NEVER be ashamed of admiring physical beauty, be it found in lugs OR legs......

I'm fairly new here, and this is the first such thread I've seen. I imagine when photos of a good-looking male are posted, they get a similar response? Or is all of this [raises patrician nose] beneath us?

I didn't intend to offend any serious cyclists. Or anyone else for that matter. In real life I'm not a lech, but I do sometimes play one on the Internet. For laughs. ha ha. I doubt I'll ever be "mature"; perhaps after I become senile?

I don't get the whole "ashamed" thing. We should be ashamed of enjoying professional photos of a fully-clothed, famous, beautiful woman? I've tried hard to muster at least a small twinge of shame or guilt about that and nope -- it's just not happening. If it were someone's amateur photo of some hottie they saw on the road, taken without her knowledge and consent, then I'd agree it's a bad thing.

Let me guess: if we don't get it, you can't explain it, right?

What? The only thing I noticed is that she's not wearing her helmet????????

You mean, like this one? (Posted just for the purpose of providing an example, you understand.... :D)

Thanks for proving my point. :p

I will keep my mouth shut about things and sit back and watch the thread get trashy and then get closed. God, some men are such horn dogs! :roflmao:

God, some men are such horn dogs! :roflmao:

Nah - we're just.......ummmm.......men.

:beer:

having genuine appreciation for aesthetically pleasing examples of human genetics,
men and women alike, i believe is totally acceptable.
objectifying (and degrading) is not.

it's almost the same for bikes; we all appreciate a well-engineered, beautifully made bike, don't we?
except objectifying them is ok..

:eek: Nice bike shoes! :D

Would another angle help?

Thanks for that angle pic, RegularGuy. It helped me find my inner-self.

You're entirely welcome, Mike. Did it help you identify the bike?

Not all bib shorts are created equal. Can this be considered a case of simplex exploitation?

"Love is dangerous because it leads to marriage, a situation in which men lose their strength. They can preserve their strength only by running away from women, who interfere with their real tasks in life, the seeking and pursuing of adventure."

Ok. I think my work here is done.

:rolleyes: @ u

at least it's not a buncha women going on about Lance and his nude shots on his bikes.

Anyhoo, I dig the pics :) (fyi, I happen to be a woman too :))

well, I'm just about as mature as dirt. So shame on y'all, ya freakin' horndogs.

Why is the All American Pinup girl on a Frenchie bike? Would be a lot better if she was on a Paramount!

Nah - we're just.......ummmm.......men.

Yes, and in that spirit, this thread is on it's way to the trash if any more pictures like that get posted. AND on top of that, I'll make sure no other threads even close to this one ever get started up again, since it invariably comes back to pictures like that with EVERY thread of this nature that gets started.

I'll parrot what some other dude said: acceptance is better than repression. Farrah is hot as! let's appreciate her for her beauty and charm, however reified. don't see much wrong with that. but then again, I'm not some angry feminsts stuck in the 80's, either.

I would like to point out that both the pictures I posted were taken directly from posts in the road cycling forum. So, it's not like I introduced any additional material, or even pushed the envelope.

>shrug<

If that's the case, I'll be sure to comb through all of them and make sure that picture disappears, since we've been removing that picture faithfully every time it appears on the forums. Still, with hundreds of threads appearing each day, we can only lay eyes on so many threads. Some things are bound to escape our eyes. But now you know.

Hello? If the problem was with Farrah's picture, would not this thread already be in the trash? We are referring to something different. Generalize with your barbs on a different thread, please.

Thanks.

Sorry Koffee. When I was a young teen, most of my friends had big posters of Farrah on their bedroom walls. Those posters were at least as racy as the ones posted here. Our parents didn't make a fuss.

I just thought this thread and the pics would be kinda fun on the classics forum because both Farrah and the Peugeot she is on are classics.

I don't think the problem was with Charlie's Angel, I think it may have been the other chick who was donning a very small outfit.

I'm over 50 and remember the 70's and her quite well, but heartthrob? At least not for me, she looked like a hooker back then and she looks like an old hooker today!!! Kinda like Pamela Anderson who has that same cheap hooker look. My favorite was Jaclyn Smith who was far more classy looking.

I must have missed that before it got pulled. Sounds naughty.

Nah, not really. One pic was a French bicycle advertisement/poster, and the other was of some girl in short-shorts and flip-flops riding away from the camera.

Drop me a pm and I'll send you them, if you like.
