I
call this bike a UO 2006. I
don't know what the frame tubing is as the frame was bought from
a closeout at a Texas bikeshop over eBay. All of the parts are new
old stock, except the seat and brake lever rubber covers, the brakes
and the fork. The frame was produced by Procycle at their factory
in Beauce Quebec. It is internally fillet brazed which is Peugeot's
patented frame building technique. it rides wonderfully and brings
back the joy of my first 10 speed, a UO-8 bought in 1971 and stolen
in the spring of 1972 as I slept; I heard the freewheel ticking
when they took it away. All I have left of that bike is the Mafac
toolkit which still rides with me wherever I go, particularly to
my favorite spot on the Black River Trail (last photo).
