Gorgeous bike...the Primato is a heck of a machine, and I love the color. To me MAX and EL OS represent the pinnacle of the classic steel frame in many ways.

No UO-8 either. A collection isn't a collection without one.

. What's a "UO-8"??
http://users.rcn.com/jimmuller/pics/magic1972.jpg Peugeot UO-8, one of the biggest sellers of the 70's bike boom. For an inexpensive bike it worked remarkably well. With upgrades it overreached its humble origin. Peugeot eventually upgraded it to the UO-9 and UO-10, changing to allow wheels and crank, other nice features. They also sold it as the UE-8 and the UO-18. One was a touring version, the other a mixte, but I can never remember which was which. They sold a cheaper version called the AO-8 which had non-QR wheels, cheaper rims and crank, same frame but with less chrome. That was my new UO-8 in 1972 IIRC. (I'm a bit fuzzy about the date. It's been a while.) I upgraded it with alloy wheels, derailleurs, seatpost, crank, handlebar, pedals w/toe clips & straps. I still ride it. |

If your collection ends with the DeRosa, it would be a very nice place to end.

I'd go for that nice Lynskey Cooper ti you have listed there.
Sounds like a great bike, for sure. Lately, I've been lusting for a sweet lugged rando bike with fenders, racks, and Campy triple. Something like this below. :D |
No Paramount? That's just un-American.
