I lent one of my favorite bikes, the 1980 Peugeot PKN-10 to my elder son permanently, because it fits him better than me. He has put it to good use. He really appreciates the 34T grannie chainring I added when he is pulling both boys up a hill. (He wanted a higher top gear and a lower bottom gear than I had, so it is now geared 52-45-34 / 13-26, in a 3x7 configuration, with a long-cage Simplex rear derailleur. I previously ran a half-step-plus-granny 48-45-34 / 13-24 in a 3x6 configuration with a short cage SunTour Cyclone II rear derailleur.
