Hey Zealot, I bought it in 1998 but the guy said it had been sitting there for 2 years. It's made by Procycle in Canada. A LBS here elegantly called Procycle/Peugeot frames "component racks" (read piece of crap). Well, I don't care coz it hauls my butt just fine. I was looking for a touring bike, didn't know anything about them but reading the touring forum, now I realize I got lucky. It has all the braze-ons (not on current fork which was changed after a crash), bar-end shifters, 40 spoke rear wheel (changed, bent rim, now 32 spoke, long story), and gearing made for touring, good fit, even my favorite color... all that for 700$ CAD! It's showing its age now. Many parts have to be changed. I'm considering getting a custom touring bike but it ain't cheap so I'll work on my Peugeot this winter to extend its life. When I get a better tourer, I can keep the Peugeot for commuting.

I don't see Peugeots often, wether in shops or on the streets. I'm not even sure canadian Peugeots are still made. The equivalent might be Mikado, which is also made by Procycle.
