Retro Guru
OK, after my inaugural Retrobike official ride over the Gospel Pass with Ed Edwards and the rest of the Sat 17th crew - I've been eyeing up several combo's for my own retro build, with this lies a conundrum -
After owning a Peugeot 653 20+ yrs ago, I naturally found myself looking at something similar/Vitus 979 esque for my first retro build.
Tonight after over a week of looking I spotted something that brought back memories of flicking through the Peugeot cycles brochure back in 1987.....I've spotted a Peugeot Fibre de Carbone frame for sale...my size too!
Now, as much as I would love to progress my investigation into this frame , my recent memories of hurtling down Gospel Pass in hyperdrive with Ed and the lads on my modern winter hack has me pondering the implications of doing the same on a 25yr old aluminium & 3 carbon maintube pug.....stuck together with 25 yr old adhesive!
As scary as it seems, these don't come up often....and I'm really tempted so It'd be interesting to see folks thoughts on this?
