Just completed a 78 mile ride for charity on my Peugeot Fibre de Carbon

I built it up using Campag Super Record and it's my pride and joy (well - one of them

) Always attracts admiring looks and comments as it is quite a rare machine !

ty for quick response - evidently there are radical differences in the smaller frame sizes only.

the vitus version turns up from time to time.

The Peugeot had bigger carbon tubes than the Vitus, requiring aluminium adaptors bonded to the Vitus lugs.

I have one here in Canada, did you find one or would you prefer a Canadian ride a la Fibre de Carbonne?
