randyjawa Having a Canadian "Super Course" I'd have to agree...but isn't the peugeot "Course" disqualified by being a late U0-8?
I am not sure what a Canadian Super Course, perhaps there is an upgraded Course I am unaware of. I am speaking of the Course model and comparing it to a UO8.

Though the tubing is the same on both, the Course features different geometry, forged drops, and 700c tires. Nothing UO8 about a Canadian Peugeot Course, at all, in my opinion.

By the way, I do like the ride of the French UO8 but not nearly as much as a Course.

And, I just noticed sixtyfiver's comment about the roadster and I one hundred percent agree. Those old 28 inch wheel wonders are a treat to ride. Takes a bit of pumping to get em going, but then it is like riding on a train. I guess, since I have not ridden a train since I was four years old.

How many bikes must one own and test ride to feel comfortable making ride quality statements? 379, I believe is the correct number;-)

Even though I have owned and ridden hundreds, on purpose, I know that I cannot ride a road bike properly. I doubt that this old body, will ever be able to, properly, extract full performance from some, if not all, of my machines.
