I too was thinking about painting it, but I think I will keep it with the natural patina for a while. If I do paint it I will powder coat it in a pear white (if they have pearl white powder coat) to keep it close to original. Does your Peugeot have a 24mm seat post like mine? Trying to find a new one is pretty expensive because they are so rare.todoranhttp://www.michaeltodoran.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33160781.post-17804761362373091602010-07-12T09:17:09.223-06:002010-07-12T09:17:09.223-06:00Chris, yeah, this bike certainly has a 'spring...Chris, yeah, this bike certainly has a 'springy' feel to it. The frame has mucho-flexo. In fact, I can see it flex when I look down and hammer. Kind of weird, but the other side is a super smooth ride. This wouldn't be a bike for hard sprinting, but for fast cruise in the county, yes.<br /><br />EHB: Thanks for the clarity and info. Much appreciated. The reason I opted to wrap that way this time was because that's how the bike was wrapped when I got it, and wanted to give it a try. The reason the end has already come unraveled is cause I crashed this bike already. After being hit by a car. The only damage at all was the saddle, bar tape and pedals. I walked away fine so all's good.<br /><br />Tex69, I've had Biopace for years and always had at least one bike with them on. Right now I've got them on my xtracycle. I've even had SS bikes set up with them before. I can't say I really notice a huge difference ridding with them. On the front is just a cheap ($10?) Axiom top tube bag. There are tons out there from lots of manufacturers. For a P&S camera, it's great. I leave my camera case unzipped and I can pull out my camera quickly, even while riding, but it's still safe and secure when it's put away.<br /><br />This is a fun bike, and I'm looking forward to getting it out on a day long road ride. Maybe a spin up in the mountains.<br /><br />Cheers.Jeromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984978420642327867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33160781.post-77644647562324168342010-07-11T07:51:16.798-06:002010-07-11T07:51:16.798-06:00That's a real gem of a find.

Don't worry about the bar tape...I find white tape needs frequent replacing to stay respectable so just re-wrap from the bottom next time round.Vikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214932277372519931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33160781.post-46107612200902759582010-07-09T12:49:39.426-06:002010-07-09T12:49:39.426-06:00really nice. be curious how you ride with the Biop...really nice. be curious how you ride with the Biopace. I have a '90 Cannondale road with biopace. Like you, maybe I just look into culling the herd b/c I haven't ridden it in ages.<br /><br />Different Q entirely. What kind of front bag do you have on the Karate Monkey? I'm needing a camera bag. Thanks and happy simplicity.LvilleTexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733840950451530910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33160781.post-8822783452919447142010-07-09T06:22:09.619-06:002010-07-09T06:22:09.619-06:00much better condition than I expected, nice.
just ...much better condition than I expected, nice.<br />just a couple points; the Sante group wasn't just for THAT bike, it was a regular group like all the others. lots of the Japanese mfgrs at the time had a sante bike in their lineup.<br />Sante derailluers and shifters were compatable w/ dura ace, but not the rest of shimano's stuff, so if you ever needed new shifters for instance, ultegra or 105 won't work.<br />lastly, on your bar wrapping, you generally want to start wrapping from the bottom up. the way you have it, the edges will start to push down and get real ugly, curling back and exposing the handlebar. if you start at the bottom and tape it at the finish it stays in place.Easton Heights Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009143851904560547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33160781.post-53613812839767534242010-07-09T05:57:16.366-06:002010-07-09T05:57:16.366-06:00Finally, but worth the wait.

Two points of experience...(1) I had a bike with Biopace rings, but never really liked the feel of them, and (2) I test rode a lesser model Peugeot back about that time and loved its "springy" and "lively" feel, but for some reason didn't buy it. Sometimes I wish I would have.<br /><br />Very cool bike. I hope you enjoy it.Ponderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042079750126434523noreply@blogger.com
