Hard to get excited about a bike that's way too large for me.

Is it a Raleigh?

Ha ha, I see someone is busy looking through my post history? Tax return was a negative $400 and I never heard from the seller.

Or on the window of your favorite minivan.

Seriously though, that is a very pretty bike in one of my favorite colors. Looking forward to more pics and the build! May the shipping gods smile upon your sweet sweet bicycle.

Just looked and fooled with a bit of cleaning. I intend to get to work on it as part of a recuperation strategy. Surgery tomorrow and then its Peugeot get-er-done time. Might need a day or two to get past the ouch, after tomorrow, though:-(
