The Peugeot family has been making water mills, knives, and hydraulic equipment since the mid-19th century. With the advent of practical bicycles, the company jumped in and began manufacturing bikes, beginning in 1882. That makes Peugeot one of cycling's oldest brands. Peugeot is especially famous for its racing team. Riders sponsored by Peugeot have won the Tour de France ten times, more than any other maker.

In the 1984 Tour de France Robert Millar won the King of the Mountains classification and finished fourth overall on this bike. Millar now works as a journalist under the name "Philippa York".

Peugeot 62cm PN10(?) Hybrid bicycle. Used, completely rebuilt and overhauled. $450.00

Center-to-center: 62cm seat tube x 60cm top tube.

This bike was built up from a Peugeot three-tubes double-butted Reynolds Peugeot frameset with forged dropouts. The bottom bracket was re-tapped from French to English dimensions.

Our assigning it the PN10 model designation is a best guess. Since it does not have braze-ons but does have graphics updated from the early-mid 1970s, we dating it to the late 1970s.

• Wheels: 27" with rear Shimano 400CX cassette hub and the front is a high-flange Shimano hub.
• Gear control group: Shifters are ShimanoA20 Rapidfire Plus STI hooked up to Shimano C20 rear and Tourney front TopSwing derailleurs.
• Bottom bracket has been re-tapped to English with a cartridge bottom bracket connected to an SR/SunTour PFF crankset. It's a compact triple crankset paired with a medium-width rear cassette.
• The stem offers a higher rise position and the bar end shifters offer both additional hand positions and the ability to stretch out.
• Additional accessories: Soma fenders, Greenfield rear mount kickstand and water bottle cage.

Rebuilt and designed to be comfortable and reliable.

Peugeot 62cm Hybrid bicycle. Used, $350.00

This bike was built up from a Peugeot UO-8 frameset, the iconic Peugeot from the 1970s. Its seat tube separated from the bottom bracket shell and we had it repaired. The bottom bracket was re-tapped from French to English dimensions.

The bike has been completely serviced with fresh grease, including the headset.

It has been built up with a highly upgraded set of components, including:

• The single-wall alloy QR wheels are 700c. 
• The rear hub is a Shimano HG50 7s cassette hub.
• Gripshift 400 shifters
• SunTour XCT alloy brake levers
• The crankset is a SunTour XCT triple with 175mm arms attached to a cartridge BB.
• It has an alloy micro-adjust seatpost.
• Fenders and luggage rack are included.

The high-rise stem will make this easy to ride.

Front view. It still has its powerful Mafac brake calipers, but now they have Cool Stop Eagle Claw 2 brake pads. That is some real braking power.

The cockpit. Everything is conveniently placed.

From the back. It comes with fenders and rack.

Modern SunTour XCT triple crankset with 175mm arms. This will get you up the hill.

Also a modern Shimano 200 GS rear derailleur

Vintage Peugeot posters and ads.

Please, enjoy a short trip through history.

Here's a very early Peugeot poster, printed in 1896.

This poster was created in 1900. The artist was Ernest John Alexis Vulliemin

This poster also dates back to about 1900.

Here's a 1931 Art Deco Peugeot poster by famed artist Roger Pérot

A rough translation of this poster: "A Peugeot bicycle rides itself". This one goes back to 1946.

Peugeot put out this poster in 1952.
