A remarkable feature of the Peugeot frames from the period 1974-1976 is the geometry with very steep angles and long chainstays. This one seems to have angles between 75 and 77 degrees and 46 cm chainstays.
I have always wondered if it was typical for Peugeot to build frames this way, or was it a trend that also could be seen with other brands?
I have a 1975 PX 60 with a similar geometry. It rides very well, steering is not overly nervous, but I always have to get used to the very forward riding position compared to bikes with a more normal geometry.
