And I failed to mention:
Smokinapankake, your Canyon Express looks terrific and what a deal!
Thanks for starting this thread and sharing. I am learning more about these Peugeot mtb's from this.
I hope you enjoy many great miles on yours.

Old zombie thread I know but I still have this old bike. It’s been through some changes…
Found another exactly like this one only a couple sizes smaller, so I took its fork and added a Threadless steer column to it. While that was in the works I had the frame powder coated in the red and silver you see here. Rebuilt with new wheels and a like new 7 speed Shimano LX component group. Also put on my favorite handlebar of all time, a Kalloy AL-030 in black, 610 width. Such a nice rider!
I still want to have some low rider mounts brazed on to the fork; that’s why it isn’t painted to match, but once that’s done I’ll call it complete. Add some racks front and rear and we’ll be in expedition mode!

I recently got hooked on these old Peugeot MTBs. I first got a chrome U.S. Express. Did some research on Peugeot MTBs, and was impressed with the Canyon Express. A week later I got a Japanese made Orient Express. I've been thoroughly through both bikes, and they now ride like new. Yesterday I replaced the gumwalls on the O.E. with blackwalls. The O.E. has a really nice lugged frame and bull moose bars that remind me of the first production MTBs of 30 years ago.

Yes, it us stock. there's a matching peg at the bottom of the seat tube as well, near the bottom bracket. Never seen dual pegs like that on any bike before.
