1982/83 Peugeot Urban Express
I do not have much info on this bike.
My reason for listing this bike on my site is
because in the fall of 1982 I almost purchased this
bike, but instead I chose a Diamond Back Ridge
Runner.
The drive train is a lower end Suntour component
group with Dia-Compe brakes, and Takagi cranks.
This bike is an entry level mountain bike.
