    1988 Peugeot Cannonball Express FULLY RESTORED IN 2008

    Back then I think that this little detail was an invention of the early developers who went out on some rides and found out that they really NEEDED to carry the bike over or around some obstacle. I haven't used it in years. I think it was not specific to Peugeot.

    1988 Peugeot Cannonball Express FULLY RESTORED IN 2008

    Yes, cold in the night but I had a good down bag. But even still there was one night that I couldn't keep my feet warm. Didn't sleep much that night. Some of this desert, the Negev, is 900 meters and some of it is only 50 meters elevation. The low desert is much warmer throughout the whole...

    1988 Peugeot Cannonball Express FULLY RESTORED IN 2008

    Thanks very much for all the compliments. As for the frame metal, I am pretty sure that it is Reynolds 531 double-butted as best I remember. I could be wrong about the number but this is close.

    1988 Peugeot Cannonball Express FULLY RESTORED IN 2008

    Yeah, Hi, I did get a good idea about the current value. Seems like about +-700 euros is the best estimate. So I know enough to keep it in good condition and ride it until the end. I am getting too old to justify the purchase of another high tech fully. So this bike is just good enough in...

    1999 Cannondale Super V Raven 3000

    1999-2009 I kept the carbon fiber frame and graphics covered up with a $1 roll of plastic electrical tape over these last 10 years. Every two years or so I remove the tape and deep clean the bike. Got'ta protect that investment. It still looks good and rides like a Cadillac. Coda cranks, Cane...

    1999 CarbonDale - What is it worth? 1999 CarbonDale - What is it worth? Yes, I am really wondering what it is worth. But I have to give a "write up" in order for the condition to be factored into the value. The bike gets ridden on average only 3 months per year because it lives in the...
