Might as well have been. Sixty years old. Then I disappeared up the road.
Well, I guess I'm gonna' disrupt it. I ride an '84 Peugeot PH10 that I bought brand new waaaaay back in '85. It looks and performs just as good as the day it was new. I ride it every Saturday morning for my weekly 20 miler and I always get a compliment or 2 on what a great looking bike I have. Some times I think the CF riders are a little envious of the c&v riders. Steel is KING! I'm just sayin'......
To the OP--RIDE IT!!! And be proud of it.
Did I mention it still sports the Lyotard pedals it came with? I use cages and straps and still wear the Dettos I bought with the bike. They have the '84 LA Olympics logo on the side.
