Bikes: See my sig...



That is a sweet looking ride... as I have said before the bikes in this thread tend to be made of all kinds of awesome and think the appeal is knowing they aren't toys and work hard for their living.

Installed my rack last night and am so impressed with how Peugeot integrated their fenders and racks... I had to use p clips at the seat stay as my bike was not fitted with braze ons like a UE model is but with those the fender has 5 mounting points to the frame and there is a fender hanger integrated into the rack for a 6th.

The rear triangle actually got a good deal stiffer after the rack was installed as the 126mm wheel that took a little springing of the stays to fit before took a little more effort to squeeze in and a lot of that flex vanished.

Now I can carry my my panniers and with temps hitting 80f and above one does to want to carry a backpack.
