Yesterday I picked up an older (mid 80's, judging by the grey/pink color scheme) rigid mtb.
It is a Peugeot Fun Star. Made in France. CroMo frame. Diablo hubs. 24 tpi BB threads. Cantilever brakes. Not lugged, but I would guess brazed; is that even possible?
What is this thing? Anyone ever heard of it?
And, bonus question: on the tube that connects the Headtube with the BB (can't remember the name of this tube. must be getting old) there is a small hole on the underside of each end. Each hole as a white plastic grommet insert with an open inside diameter of about 1mm. My first thought was a strange routing for a cable, but it really does not look like it. Seems like they would have be angled to make that work, and these are drilled perpendicularly to the tube.
I have cross-posted this in classic/vintage.
