Finally riding a big boys bike
Even though I was enthusiastic road and transportation biker as a kid, I could say about the same for a similar bike, a Gitane 531 bike, which was my first serious adult bicycle. I would guess the Pugeot experience to be similar to mine. It was a lovely, light, lively performing bike. But the next year, I realized a 15 year old dream and bought a brand new Paramount P13. Young neighbor bought my Gitane, and I wish I still had it. It would be a nice counter point to the very stout Paramount.
