The synopsis:

Peugeot Classic Bicycles 1945 to 1985, written with the full co-operation of the factory, brings to life the golden era of Peugeot bicycles.

After a brief look at the company's pre-war days, the richly-illustrated pages focus on a period when the Peugeot name was synonymous with the Tour de France and racing, and brings the story up to date with coverage of later machines. Both road and race bikes are looked at in detail, with the book written in a fashion that makes it equally suitable for both reference and as a coffee table tome for the enthusiast.

That's cool!
I wonder though if this a book about their production models or their competition history within those years, or hopefully, both?
A bit pricey a 60 bucks, but could be something special for Peugeot fans.

This part makes me believe both: "Both road and race bikes are looked at in detail."

I'm not much into actual racing history so a look at their production models, both racing and otherwise, would be nice.

How will the book treat the outside builders who provided frames for Simpson and Merckx, possibly others?

The practice was common with lot of the big factory teams, so I hope it would be mentioned, if it's going to be sold as a high quality book.....

One would think, Simpson died on a Masi... clear the Peugeot name.

That cover photo was shot through a frame with the same decals and paint as my (now my son's) 1980 PKN-10. I would like to be able to see a preview of what's inside before ordering. (I do own a print copy of The Dancing Chain, 3rd ed.)

Maybe mention CNC, too.

I wouldn't hold my breath, if nobody had the spine then or so far.....

It sure as H**L isn't likely to happen now.

T-Mar

Under current social morals, Peugeot would bear some blame. While the bicycle itself was not directly involved in the death, to-day's society would consider factors such as the enviroment of the pro peloton and the dynamics within the Peugeot team. Even though the 1967 Tdf was conducted on a national team basis, Simpson was still still a Peugeot rider and his performance reflected on trade team sponsor. Examiners would be considering how much Peugeot team mangement encouraged his use of performance enhancing drugs, either directly or indirectly. Even though the ultimate decision to mix alcohol and drugs on a hot day would have been Simpson's, I strongly doubt that Peugeot would be completely absolved of responsibility after a modern investigation.

I like by C.N.C. bikes very much. I will credit Raymond Fouquet for introducing me to them.
