So, looking at it this way I guess my grail would be a mid 80's Peugeot in the champagne brown color with a chrome fork in my size. I rode one like that all over Germany in the 80's and keep searching for another. Nothing shows up locally in my size or at the other sources it can be shipped from.

One like this that once again and all the way across the country.
