It must have been awful to ride with that cotter installation induced offset. I have mixed feelings about this bike. It and another Peugeot were donated by the owners daughter after he passed away while riding the bike. I had met him once, but its a very sad time for the family. I have another Peugeot project for a friend to give back to his brother so the parts are welcome.
