Thanks, it is nice! Man, how tall are you?

You wanna sell it? You dont fit it anymore.

[monkey]

Hahaah its my only source of transport at the moment, but im 6'3" so i have to ride it standing up.... mythighs hit the handlebars.. lol and i have to pedal on my tippytoes cuz i have a size 14 foot so it hits the ground and the front tire when turning.... hahaha
this problem affects me also when driving manuals... i hit the gas and the brake at the same time in most sports cars...
gotta invest in some driving shoes once i get a car again....

but ya, once i get my car itll be up for sale!

My bicycle is not quite a BMX, but pretty much a model from the last year (1989) that Peugeot bicycles were produced under the same name. According to Wikipedia:

"In the late 1980s Peugeot sold the North American rights to the Peugeot bicycle name to ProCycle in Canada (also known as CCM and better known for its ice hockey equipment) and the European rights to Cycleurope S.A."

And more tidbit on Peugeot bicycles from www.classicrendezvous.com:

"Between 1903 and 1983, Peugeots were ridden to victory ten times in the Tour de France, in addition to winning championships and breaking records."

ANYWAYS, HERE IS THE BICYCLE I STILL OWN, and in good condition. It is the low end of their "course" bikes...I mean my parents bought it for me as a mere teenager (I was born in 1976):
