Tonight’s OTS is a 1979 Peugeot Record du Monde sent in by Josh. After seeing those knobbies installed, I would go ahead and add some barend shifters and take this baby out for some cyclocross action. This season is my first attempt at CX and every week I compete against a bunch of guys on late model CX-specific carbon rigs with ZIPP 404s. I am, of course, on a re-purposed Schwinn Crisscross that I’ve owned since I was 14, and I still manage to beat a few people.
This Peugeot—with a few tweaks—could probably weigh less than my Schwinn beast, and has me curious if anybody out there has used their OTSs for CX? If so, show me your CXOTS!
I found this bike at a yard sale, I gave $25 for it.It is all original except for tires and seat.
Thanks Josh
