At 63cm, the Peugeot is taller than most French bicycles of this era. Its most interesting feature is the accessory front brake, which you can see in detail in the following photos. (I’ll add a video of it functioning tomorrow). It’s a fast machine, in good unrestored condition and is ready to ride.
