I finally have my peugeot PR 10 L all together. I took some pictures, ran them through the scanner. Got a book on html and put together a web page. (note, most images are 600K, so I hope it is not too slow for most of you).

The main purpose of this page is to be able to show everyone at CR the results that could only be reached with the help from the members of CR. I got advice on how to put parts together. Advice on what this bike is. Advice on what parts would be right. Advice on where to go to find parts. And folks offering me almost any part I needed. And most importantly, the encouragement to go out and put together an interesting bike - that it was a good thing to do. So thanks once again to everyone.
So, how does it ride? Well, the weather in Providence RI has been terrible. Snow, ice, sleet, rain, and salt/sand trucks. But there was about 20 minutes the other day when the roads looked a bit dry. So I went out and rode around the block. The bike felt great. I was expecting a heavy'ish feeling bike. It felt like a nimble racer with nice light controls (and a squealing front brake). I think I am really going to enjoy this bike. I am looking forward to slightly better weather and a nice ride with the Narragansett Bay Wheelmen (http://www.nbwclub.org/) to really test it out.
The bike is a work in progress, and I hope to only improve it with time. Same for the (crude) web page I put together. Ideas for both the bike and the web page (and please tell me if it does not work) are desired.
Hopefully we can get a classic ride around MA/CT/RI/VT/NH some time soon as well.
Thanks again to everyone at CR (there is a thanks page there as well)
