Peugeot with fat tyres



I've been commuting to work on this bike all week and it's great. Cir

cumference of the Maxxis Hookworm 26 x 2.5" tyres is within milimetres of my Schwalbe 27" tyres, and rolling resistance tests - just coasting down Epuni St on the Peugeot then the Trek - indicates that they're on par. Cool.

1990 Peugeot Hurricane

Another heartbeat, another bike. This is a 1990 Peugeot Hurricane, Made in France (so it says) from fillet brazed 531. Yum.

The colours are typical of the time - I remember trying to buy a sleeping bag at the time and all I could get was purple on the outside and green on the inside...



This is a work in progress, naturally - but the overall look is complete. This will be my trailer towing bike.
