I finally have my little Peugeot pretty much finished. This thing is a blast to bomb around in and its really comfy. The bar end shifters work so much better than the old thumbshifters did. I haven't decided yet what I am putting on the rack to haul things yet. I am leaning toward a folding basket on one side and my Jadd trunk bag like I had on my Trek. I really like this bike alot. It been kind of a pain in some ways to get it all together and taken a while, but I think its worth it. Its going to be my "new" primary commuter.
