I've long suspected that New York City's seemingly endless supply of overpriced "vintage" bicycles comes from vast crappy bike reserves in the Midwest... BikeSnobNYC
Albert N.’s 1983 Peugeot Super Vitus SL (France)

While we’re on the topic of Super Vitus, this is Albert N.’s 1983 Peugeot Super Vitus SL.
Original 1983 Super Vitus SL. Bought in Missoula MT from Braxton Bike shop.
The plastic toe clips, black bottle cage, and missing bar tape are the only things holding this bike back from perfection.

What is the SL bit about? Is there a difference in the Super Vitus 980 steel between this 1982-83 model and the 1984+ PSN/PSVN/? The catalog weight is 21 lb (not 21.0 lb)for these and 21.6 or so for the later ones, I imagined this was just components esp. clincher wheels & tyres. A derailleur suitable for indexing weighs more, as do the less flexy Campag & Shimano cranks used later.
