 There's just something so sporting and awesome about this Peugeot UO-8 build. I've been on the lookout for an orange one ever since I saw this picture.

That Peugeot reminds me of my path racer obsession. I really need to build one...  This one desperately needs a more 'used' saddle, but otherwise just about perfect.

 Saw one of these on Craigslist tonight. Now I will dream about having one everyday until I have one. I accept wholly that getting tubes, spokes, and rubber would be a major pain in the ass.

We called these things "cat draggers" in the late 70's/early 80's. My parents gave mine (60's raleigh frame/campy front wheel/coaster brake SS in a 27" rear/same kind of flipped bars) to my sister's boyfriend while I was touring the US in severe decadence. Glad they are still out there - really nice bike

Bridgestone XO-1 with S&S couplers from Cars-R-Coffins sometime this past summer. If I could only have one bike ever to do everything it would be something like this.

Weird, I was looking at the Cars-R-Coffins website, and they call this frame a Mixte: I've only been using the term "mixte" for a frame that has an extra pair of stays, that go all the way from the rear fork to the head tube, replacing the traditional top tube. Is "mixte" just a generic term for any step-through frame?

You realize by posting that in this thread, it has officially become the bike you want, but can't have.

 So maybe someday I could build this bike, but right now it is out of my price range. Aesthetically almost perfect! It just needs a sexier fork.

Post the source for your images too. I want to know the parts/history on some of these bikes.

I do like that seatpost though.

Jeff posted this on his blog a while back. With some studs that might be a perfect winter bike IMO.
