Peugeot Control 800, XT/XTR mechs, USE post.

Stumbled across this, looks carbon to me and certainly not a road racing frame. I'd have it myself if I wasn't stoney broke!

EDIT: not actually carbon when I have my glasses on. Durr! Nice brazing though.

Dunno, this suggests you might have been on the money http://www.bikeboompeugeot.com/Brochure ... %20Pg8.jpg

Well, it's not often I'm right first time!
Thanks for the scan, looks nice.

Re:

main tubes are alu , carbon lugs .

Re:

Notice it's been snaffled up - anyone on here?

Re:

Ahem..yes...maybe..

I know a little about these frames as I've been on the hunt for one for a while.. I always wanted a 'nice' Peugeot; and had a T6000A/F on the list - so thanks for picking this one up on here!

I'm currently awaiting delivery & then see how nadgered it is.. I'm not totally sure how well it's going to be packed to be honest, as the seller was a little..vague, but a stuck Alu post in a carbon clamp shouldn't be too much hassle to remove; then I get to investigate the rusted chain, partial rear mech & what may be an LX crankset.

Excellent news! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Think I might be moving my Magnum 800 on if you'd like another Peugeot...

Re:

Thanks! And again thanks for pointing this one out.. They should be everywhere but like a lot of things, it seemed Yeti, Kona, Specialized etc were all the cool brands so Peugeot never really got any cachet from the race wins - bit like Raleigh to an extent.

I'm a bit 'steeled out' at the moment as regards the Magnum I think!
Direction on the Peugeot is going to be condition and frame-dependent. This is VERY much 'n+2' territory, so it's going to mean sacrificing another bike to build it. I have a '97 Aluminium Ghost (really!) which is a little cracked, so that might make way, or I might take the carbon & light stuffs off my Giant MCM. The trouble is that this and the Giant are very much equivalent frames; and the Giant is superb off-road, so I don't want to lose that.

If this is a bit shonky-looking & not in a good way, it will be a good replacement for the cracked Ghost. The Peugeot pics are terrible, but it's a really deep metallic blue originally, looking forward to giving it the once-over; but I'm going to have to finish my Giant ATX build & get the Carrera working first in between riding & work.. :facepalm: :facepalm:
