I was browsing craigslist in the closest big city to me and found what was adverted as an older pug that needed some work:
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/bik/1152069472.html
I sent the owner an email to see if they could/would tell me any more about it. Their reply wasn't very helpful. I've been trying to figure it out ever since.
Went and looked at retropeugeot.com. I figured out that in the US, pugs started having solid color forks instead of half-chromed ones sometime in the mid-1980s. But I can't find a bike with a solid color fork and a top-tube decal in any of the posted catalogs. Can't tell if it's a 5 or 6-spd or if it has two chainrings upfront. Pictures aren't the best and the owner's not saying much.
Anyone know what this is? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
-Bill
