Peugeot Competition Classic French Road Bike 1980s

Peugeot was one of those early bicycle manufacturers which grew big and succsessful during the 20th century. Their first bike was already built around 1882. But their reputation grew mainly due to their racing activities. Peugeot sponsored racing squads and cyclists from 1903 until 1983.
In this time they managed to win the tour de france 10 times and numerous championships, classics and one day races. Who has not seen the pictures of Tom Simpson and Eddy Merckx, winning the World Championships 1965 and 1967 on a Peugeot PX 10?
And here we have one of their classic Sportsbikes. A Peugeot Competition. And it is in pretty good condition, too.
The tubes are Reynolds 531 butted tubes, a good choice for high class frames since the 1930s. As for the parts we find the complete original setup. Simplex shifting, Maillard hubs, a classic French bikes with all the components you would expect.
The great condition of this Peugeot Competition makes it both suitable for riding it in vintage cycling events as well as on weekend rides.
This bike is really incredibly well preserved and would be a perfect ride for historic races. If you are searching for an Eroica bike, this one might be just the ticket.
