I had two bicycles that should have been comparable: 1980 Peugeot PKN-10 and 1982 Bianchi Campione d'Italia. Both had moly steel butted main tubes. In fit-and-finish craftsmanship, the Bianchi was very noticeably superior to the Peugeot. I also liked its lower bottom bracket, but I did greatly appreciate the Peugeot's more generous tire clearance. The Peugeot was one size too long and too tall for me, so I gave it to my elder son.
Erik and Henry on Pi day (3/14) 2020, waiting for their dad to give them a trailer ride. He is really thankful for that 34T granny ring I added.
