Here is a little update on the little Peugeot. It rides pretty nice and I enjoyed riding it. It feels plush with the 1.75 lower psi tires compared to the 28mm on the Windor. Its heavy at around 30 pounds and its of course doesn't seem that zippy, but the tires has alot to do with that I bet. I think the rear derailer is gunky becasue it wouldn't always shift down to the smaller cogs for some reason. I figured it would eventually loosen up but it didn't really. I'll probably not mess with it too much just upgrade it instead. Overall Its a fun bike that will get better as I add some better stuff to it. I thought I would feel more wonky with the stem riser and everything, but it feels pretty normal and I didn't notice any flex. This thing tracks right down the road. I think I thought I would find it more appealing to look at than it is, but it not looking super-awesome (I like how it loks just not love it) just means I won't mind using it as a commuter. =)

Some things I'll look at changing most of which I probably have one way or another. I want some brake levers with hoods, a wider drop bar and possibly one with less reach , but I want to ride this a bit to get it all figured out. I need a different seat. I remember when my favorite seat was the WTB speed V thts on there now, but now I would rate it as just ok for me. I'll probably upgrade the entire drivetrain with parts I have lying around. I need to decide if I want to go with a triple or double crank and what type of shifters to use. I need to find some correct screws to attach a rack to the back, but thats no big deal at the worst a trip to the local hardware store. Overall its been a fun project and gone together quite well once I got the stem adapter.
