To be honest I do find those books kinda pretty and wouldn't be massively adverse to have it as a decoration

I rode a 1970 Peugeot 10 speed (PX10 ?) 50 miles/day when I was a a bit younger and in 1974 crashed hard (broken collar bone and tore off half my scalp) so I have some fond and enduring memories. I lost the bike in a fire about six years ago, but often look at them for sale and one on of these days might buy one and try to build a semi-competent if dated road bike out of it. Or maybe for a wall hanger.

I've got a Peugeot touring bike from about 1997 gathering bird shit in the garage. Weighs a ton, really hard gears, and I actually rode it to Santiago de Compostelle (well, pushed it a lot of the way). 1500km. Must have been barking. Ben riding ever since.
