\r?\n> Asusming you want a classic road racing machine, without

\r?\n> hesitation:

\r?\n>

\r?\n> Peugeot PX-10, c. 1967-1974, white Peugeot-BP livery

\r?\n>

\r?\n> Pure racing heritage: Pingeon, Simpson, Merckx, Thevenet.

\r?\n> Winner of the '67 TdF.

\r?\n> Great cycling kit (the Peugeot-BP Team had probably the

\r?\n> most iconic classic "look" of them all)

\r?\n> Super ride, light and fast: a racing bike you can ride all

\r?\n> day. Fast.

\r?\n> Readily available in all frame sizes (top is long so choose

\r?\n> accordingly)

\r?\n> Classic components: Stronglight, Simplex, Mafac, Mavic

\r?\n> Ample spare parts (except those skewers the Japanese horde

\r?\n> like nothing else)

\r?\n> Usually found in good condition: excellent topcoating, far

\r?\n> better quality paint than Italian machines and amazingly

\r?\n> durable chromium plating

\r?\n> Cheap: eBay, Craigslist, local thrift stores.
