Josh’s 1979 Peugeot Record du Monde

Posted

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

    picked up a matching pair of his and hers peugeots from the side of the road. Very similar and have fixed up nicely

    Ok this is a pet peeve but there is no model of Peugeot called a Record Du Monde all that means is “World Record” which someone set at some distance at some point while riding a Peugeot, so they put a “Record Du Monde” sticker on their bikes. Most likely based on the type of drive train its probably a UO-10 model from the late 70s or early 80s.
