Just cant stop building Pugs

Not seeing many builds on here lately and the whole vintage scene seems gloomy and depressed.. So here is my latest Pug build, another 979 which I've almost finished , just need to fit the back brake which are nutted so need to cut down the pivot bolt . I build to same formula just different frames, It's an obsession and I'm sure there are lots of us quietly still refusing to be happy with what we've got or built already and I've realised I'm not happy unless I have a project on the go , yes they're always Peugeots and yes they're slways the same and.yes I'm always losing money when I push them on but it makes me happy to build the bikes I couldn't afford as a kid. Maybe we're all a bit mad.
I've also shown the Carbon fibre and the early 80's team colours PY10 that I did last year /earlier this year. Enjoy

Nice bikes. I picked up a Peugeot a while back (PN10?) Pretty original save as for seat and bar tape. Has a 531 main triangle. Not ridden yet but I'll post some pictures later
 
I get it @marshalllucky . My first racer was a 1983 Pug Premiere in pearlescent white. It was the time when I started reading Cycling weekly and as most of that bar the cover was B&W then, the team Pug bikes ridden by the Anglos (Millar, Roche, Anderson,Yatesy, Piper) looked great even in grainy pics. The Fibre de Carbone was just a dream no kid could ever hope to own. Buying them now makes total sense.
