Peugeot catalogs needed!!!
 

Tom Simmons (twsindypa) www.retropeugeot.com and myself www.cyclespeugeot.com are in need of Peugeot ctalogs.

To complete the U.S. collection we are seeking full color scans of the 1975, '76, '79, '80, '88, and '89 catalogs. Once these catalogs/scans are acquired the complete U.S. model line will be covered from ~1970 through Peugeots last year in the U.S. 1989.

While we are seeking scans I'm also looking to purchase hardcopies of those same catalogs. As a side project I'm trying to complete a worldwide collection of hardcopies.

If you have, or know anyone that has copies of thses catalogs please PM Tom or myself.

As a side note there have been updates to my www.cyclespeugeot.com website. Updates have been made to the following pages:

Model ID: Includes thumbnails to ID 80's models
Catalogs: Organized by 'periods'/decades Not all available catalogs are listed!!
Threading: Covers all unique aspects of Peugeots

Thanks for the help,

Jim

To pick a nit, Jim:

"Reynolds has documentation of Peugeot using metric
(French thread) tubing in 1980 while using imperial (Swiss and British thread) and metric tubing in 1981."

should read:

"Reynolds has documentation of Peugeot using metric
(French and Swiss thread) tubing in 1980 while using imperial (British thread) and metric tubing in 1981."

i.e., Swiss is, of course, metric, not Imperial (which should probably be capitalized).

Jon,

I appreciate the contructive criticism. I added the thread info myself because we all know that a combination of French and Swiss was used in the early 80's on Reynolds (and other tubed) equipted bikes as well as French only.

Here's a copy of the e-mail I recieved from Reynolds.
If anyone else see's anything that may in error on my website feel free to let me know!!!
