End of Year C&V: Peugeot Canyon Express...

For your viewing pleasure:





A Peugeot Canyon Express, dating to somewhere between 1986 and 1990 from what I can tell by looking at the Peugeot catalogs. In 1986 Peugeot started placing the rear brake below the chainstays (as you see in this example) and by 1989 had apparently received enough complaints about that placement, that they gave up on the idea and brought them back up to the seatstays. This is a nice clean frame, a beautiful example of what was being produced in that era. It is built with Shimano Deore derailleurs, Suntour roller cam brakes, and Suntour AX pedals, which are pretty sweet for flats. If you are in the area, check it out, it is at the Velo.
