Hello from NC
Thought I'd join since I keep finding myself here. Got an old Peugeot mountain bike and trying to find out more about. Just been riding a year so I'm pretty new to riding and bicycle mechanics. Been riding the Peugeot touring bike I bought 30 years ago and never rode. It is hard to find out the original equipment and specs on some of these old bikes.

Welcome to the forum. I'm kind of in the same boat, using an old mountain bike to get back into riding. I've learned a lot about it doing some basic maintenance on it and tweaking it to fine tune it. Sounds like a great bike that you have!
