It’s so very close but still so far to go. I love these Peugeot frames. I like the idea of the deep v’s but green? I’m going with green on my Peugeot but the frame is a collection of fall colors and the green will actually be complementary. Bullhorns at an awkward angle? Yellow chain? I’m ok with the yellow tires because I’m running yellow tires. It works with the Peugeot stripe color scheme. Kudos on two brakes!

This bike made it to a bike show display with that stem setup? Trim it. What is going on with those wheels? I’m sure there is some aero theory to them but they are just fugly. My research (Google > Passoni bike > Wheels, extensive research) tells me that there are only TEN sets of these wheels made. Thank god.

What. The. Hell. I’m guessing an internal geared hub in the back, but why the pie plate/dork disc? Seat tube all the way out. Stem way up. Handlebars at a goofy angle. No bar plugs? Don’t wreck or risk taking a plug out of you. Looks like a nice set of polished fenders. Someone was proud enough of this to pose it on top of a table to take a picture of it…or we’re they trolling? I can almost see this as a good city beater with some minor adjustments for the right sized person.
