Chrome fork.. No eyelets front or back. I'm a fender man, so it will take a lot of love to keep it. :-)
I checked the archive. Matrix Titans made in Waterloo, WI appear to have been an early house brand of Trek. Were these what came on Trek 520 touring bikes? Kind of an odd add to this Peugeot, but, as I said, I like the ride so maybe not that odd.
Could you hazard a guess as to what kind of seat would have come new on a PSV-10?
