    Own a piece of cycling history with this mostly original classic vintage Peugeot. The UO8 frame has unusually long chain stays, for ample heel clearance when carrying rear panniers. The plain-gauge steel frame tubing is a bit heavier than fancier butted tubing, but the added stiffness is welcome when carrying a touring load, and plain-gauge tubing doesn't dent easily like thin-walled butted tubing.
