Well, in for a penny, in for a pound! I just sent payment for the Peugeot. It was boxed at a bike shop and should reach my friend in Duluth in six days time. I intend to drive from Thunder Bay to Duluth to pick the bike up. While there, I intend a ride on the Munger Trail, ensuring a short stop at Third Base. Third Base - last stop on the way home.
The fellow I got the bike from said that it 100% original and in very good condition, apologizing for a scratch or two in the paint or decals. No dings or bends, according to him. The PX sounds like one of those bikes that was purchased, only to see very little use.
As soon as I get the bike, I will share some pictures. And, for what it is worth, I collected all of my Simplex and some of my Stronglight stuff - just in case. I have even given thought to installing the Stronglight 93 triple and matching front derailleur.
Boy am I having fun! I hope!
