Steve P’s 1972 Peugeot AO8

Posted

Talk about a gift that keeps on giving.

Father’s Day just three days away and it was at this time last year that Steve P received this French gem, a AO8, from his son.  Children take a lesson!

My name is Steve Powell and the bike I’d like to share is what I believe to be a 1972 Peugeot AO8.
This bike was given to me for fathers day last year by my 10 year old son, He bought it at a garage sale for $10.00.
Other than a new derailleur and swapping out for newer tires and wheels it’s just been cleaned up a bit, It’s fantastic to ride.

Thanks Steve

    Great bike and story!

    I can’t wait to see what my 11 year old and 9 year old get me for father’s day. Schwinn Paramount? 🙂

    58CM frame…nice! Looks like you’re raising a child prodigy. At this rate you will probably be getting a new Ferrari for Father’s Day 2025!
