As apoint of interest, that How It's Made segment was actually filmed at a Peugeot manufacturing facility. It's the Procycle factory in Saint-Georges Quebec. Procycle had been manufacturing internally brazed Peugeot for the Canadian market since 1988, then took over the internally brazed manufacturing for the USA market in 1990. By then the process had been named DBS (Direct Brazing System). The video was made just about the time that Procycle's Peugeot license would have expired, circa 2000/2001. Consequently, the video features CCM bicycles, a brand that Procycle bought in 1983. Regardless, those are the actual manufacturing processes that would have been used to build many of the North American Peugeot.
